Emacs also recognizes control characters that are entered using
@dfn{modifier keys}. Two commonly-used modifier keys are

holding down the @key{Ctrl} key while pressing @kbd{a}; we will refer

characters, e.g., @kbd{C-@key{F1}} or @kbd{M-@key{left}}.

You can also type Meta characters using two-character sequences
starting with @key{ESC}. Thus, you can enter @kbd{M-a} by typing
@kbd{@key{ESC} a}. You can enter @kbd{C-M-a} by typing @kbd{@key{ESC}
