Yet, how would i represent the conrol key in ctrl+char combinations (like emacs C-') while sending escape-sequences or hex-codes via iTerm2 ?

Experimenting in accord with the link above, I can send C-& and C-( BUT NOT C-' . Why?

^[[27;6;38~ yields C-&    as expected
^[[27;6;39~ yields ~      only tilde 
^[[27;6;40~ yields C-(    as expected

Finally this works: ^[[27;5;39~ yields C-' – emelin Jan 02 '14 at 06:26
what do you write in iterm2 ? Action: send Hex code and put `^[[27;5;39~` ? – eugene Mar 20 '14 at 13:53
No, i didn't do anything in this case. iTerm2 appears just sends it like this. – emelin Mar 24 '14 at 12:37

You can send key to emacs by giving C-x @ c. So, please try C-x @ c ' instead of C-', it might work. – Mohanraj Apr 18 '14 at 06:53
