Based on the document located at <https://orgmode.org/manual/Built_002din-Table-Editor.html>, I try the following instruction: M-S-LEFT (org-table-delete-column) Kill the current column. But the keystroke combination doesn't work as expected, instead it triggers the following info in the bottom minibuffer: M-s <left> is undefined. The environment is Ubuntu 20.10 with the self compiled latest git master version of emacs and orgmode. Any hints for this problem? Regards -- Assoc.

Which keys, exactly, are you pressing? M-S-Left in Emacs Key Notation ( https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/EmacsKeyNotation) refers to Meta-Shift-Left, which in my testing works as expected, but the message you see, as posted, corresponds to what happens when you press Meta-s (the letter S) followed by "Left".

Really, it's my misapprehension on the key stroking sequence corresponding to the EmacsKeyNotation M-S-LEFT. In fact, I've tried the following keys pressing orders: Alt + s + left-arrow Alt + (left|right)-shift + s + left-arrow > > M-S-Left in Emacs Key Notation (https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/EmacsKeyNotation) refers to Meta-Shift-Left, which in my testing works as expected, but the message you see, as posted, corresponds to what happens when you press Meta-s (the letter S) followed by "Left". Thanks, the following key stroking order does the trick: Alt + shift + left-arrow > > Best, > --Diego > -- Assoc.
