Also, I would perhaps suggest against binding that command to Ctrl-c, since it limits the number of bindings you can potentially make. Many people choose to bind functions to Ctrl-c , since it allows for a wider range of key bindings. Regards, Duncan Hi Lawrence,

I found this didn’t work unless it was written as follows:

(global-set-key (kbd “\C-c s”) ‘ispell-buffer)

e.g. with the extra (kbd ) brackets.

Also, I would perhaps suggest against binding that command to Ctrl-c, since it limits the number of bindings you can potentially make. Many people choose to bind functions to Ctrl-c , since it allows for a wider range of key bindings.
