### 10.8 How do I produce C-XXX with my keyboard?

On terminals (but not under X), some common “aliases” are:

`C-2` or `C-<SPC>`
  `C-@`
`C-6`
  `C-^`
`C-7` or `C-S--`
  `C-_`
`C-4`
  `C-\`
`C-5`
  `C-]`
`C-/`
  `C-?`

Often other aliases exist; use the `C-h c` command and try <CTRL> with all of the digits on your keyboard to see what gets generated. You can also try the `C-h w` command if you know the name of the command.
