Subject: 23.0.60; Broken C-M-\ after ctrl:swapcaps
Date: Fri, 02 May 2008 17:32:55 +0300

Hi,

I switched my Caps_Lock and Control_L keys via

  $ setxkbmap -option "ctrl:swapcaps"

command on a Turkish (Q Layout) keyboard because of buggy[1] Ctrl_L key
of HP Pavilion dv6580et notebook. But this change broke my C-M-\
combination. In emacs, "C-h k C-M-\" doesn't produce anything, it still
waits for an input with "Describe key (or click or menu item):" line. I
don't know if this is a emacs specific problem, but xev outputs looks
right:

  Pressed Key     | xev keysym
  ----------------+-----------
   Caps_Lock      | Control_L
   Alt_L          | Alt_L
   AltGr[2]       | ISO_Level3_Shift
   Asterisk       | Asterisk
   AltGr-Asterisk | Backslash

By the way, I know if its related but am running emacs within a screen
session inside aterm. Here are some related environment variables:

[1] I don't know experience of others but keyboard totally sucks on HP
    Pavilion dv6000 series. While pressing Control_L continuosly
    (think C-f, C-b, C-p, C-n scenarios) it skips Control_L too may
    times.

[2] Just on the right next of the space bar.

I cannot reproduce this either. Seeing as it has been more than two
years since the original reporter spoke up and it seems to be a
problem with the computer keyboard, is it okay to close this now?
