So in general, you have a standard Emacs binding which has been clobbered, and you don't know how to do the thing it used to do?

To find out the default binding, you can start up a second Emacs instance without your init file, by running emacs -Q and then check that binding with C-hkC-xC-c

That will tell you:

C-x C-c runs the command save-buffers-kill-terminal

With that knowledge, you can return to your original Emacs instance and either do this to run that command manually:

  • M-x save-buffers-kill-terminal RET

or restore the global binding:

  • M-x global-set-key RET C-xC-c save-buffers-kill-terminal RET
