Emacs keybinding of Ctrl-[

[news.andy@spiegl.de (Andy Spiegl)]

Hi,

I am working with an US-keyboard, but typing German texts in XEmacs.
So I tried to teach XEmacs (v19.11) to give me the umlauts if I press
the corresponding keys together with CTRL.  This works fine for all
keys except for u-umlaut which would end up being on CTRL-[ :

;; define umlaut keys
(define-key global-map [(control \-)] [ssharp])
(define-key global-map [(control \;)] [odiaeresis]) 
(define-key global-map [(control \')] [adiaeresis])
(define-key global-map [(control \[)] [udiaeresis])
;; capital letters
(define-key global-map [(control \:)] [Odiaeresis]) 
(define-key global-map [(control \")] [Adiaeresis])
(define-key global-map [(control \{)] [Udiaeresis])

Even after these redefinitions XEmacs responds to CTRL-[ the
usual way (which is waiting for the next key).

Does anyone of you out there know a solution to this?
(without redefining the [ key itself. I need it for programming)

Thanks a lot in advance!
 Andy.
