Hello all,
This is a strange and very annoying problem.
The machine :
I'm running GNU emacs 18.57 on a SUN-IPC / SUNOS 4.1 with a type 4 Keyboard
(european settings), all under Xwindows (X11R4) twm.
The problem :
On my keyboard, some characters as @ # must be issued by pushing a modifier
key + another key. I had to set the Alt-graph (keycode = 126, keysym =
Mode_switch) as modifier mod1 with xmodmap, so typing Alt_graph + '-' gives '#',
and so on.
All runs well except in emacs ! There, the Alt-graph key produces the
sequence [[-1z , so I can't issue @ # ....
What I've already done :
I tried to map [[-1z to 'ignore-key : I works but I can't issue my @ # etc...
As I'm not (yet) a lisp hacker, I stayed there. I don't know if there is
a function that allow combining keys to produce an effect.
I tried to map another key to the Mode_switch, but unfortunately the new
key mapped to Mode_switch produces the ]]-1z ....
So I suppose that somewhere in emacs the keysym Mode_switch is mapped to
]]-1z .
The question :
Can someone help me ?
