Next: SPC no longer completes file names, Previous: Meta key does not work in xterm, Up: Key bindings
This is a result of an internationalization extension in X11R4
and the fact that HP is now using this extension. Emacs assumes
that the XLookupString function returns the same
result regardless of the <Meta> key state which is no
longer necessarily true. Until Emacs is fixed, the temporary
kludge is to run this command after each time the X server is
started but preferably before any xterm clients are:
xmodmap -e 'remove mod1 = Mode_switch'
This will disable the use of the extra keysyms systemwide, which may be undesirable if you actually intend to use them.
