efaq: Producing C-XXX with the keyboard

 
 9.8 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.
