Next: SPC no longer completes file names, Previous: Meta key does not work in xterm, Up: Key bindings [Contents][Index]
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.
