What is xctrl?
2 comments

You mean `Ctrl-xCtrl-f`? That's `Ctrl-x Ctrl-f`. In terms of how it parses, after `Ctrl-`, the next token must be a single character (a key) is accepted. So `Ctrl-x` completes that particular accord and `Ctrl-f` is the accord following it.
Thanks ... that was puzzling me too. And I think you mean "chord" rather than "accord" :-)
That was meant to represent hitting Ctrl-x then Ctrl-f without letting go of the Ctrl key.
That's not actually necessary, so it was probably just to show a sequence of keypresses.
