For my own comfort, I use synergy to share my workstation's keyboard between the two computers. The synergy server runs on my workstation, the client on the laptop. On a (French) AZERTY keyboard, the modifiers available are Ctrl (left and right), Alt (on the left of the spacebar) and AltGr (on the right of the spacebar). In order to enter characters such as \, you have to press AltGr-_ (this key is _ without modifiers, 8 when shifted, \ when used wit= h AltGr). I don't know how relevant it is, but under Win32, some (not all) applications will accept Alt+Ctrl as a substitute for AltGr (e.g. using M-C-_ under Firefox will produce \ ; it doesn't under Outlook). When I use emacs on the laptop, with my workstation keyboard shared with synergy, when I type AltGr-_ I get the message "C-M-_ is undefined". When using another application (notepad.exe or Firefox), when I type AltGr-_, = I get (as expected) a \ character. If I use my laptop's keyboard with emacs or another application, when I type AltGr-_, I get (as expected) a \ character. AltGr works as expected (even through synergy) with other applications, that is why I report this as an emacs bug. I use the following software stack: On the workstation: $ lsb_release -a LSB Version: =20 :core-3.1-ia32:core-3.1-noarch:graphics-3.1-ia32:graphics-3.1-noarch Distributor ID: ScientificSL Description: Scientific Linux SL release 5.2 (Boron) $ uname -a Linux frlanw0f03384 2.6.18-128.4.1.el5PAE #1 SMP Tue Aug 4 13:16:50 EDT 2009 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux $ grep '^X ' < /var/log/Xorg.0.log X Window System Version 7.1.1 X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0, Release 7.1.1 $ gnome-about --version Gnome gnome-about 2.16.0 Synergy was installed from the binary package synergy-1.3.1-1.i386.rpm available on their website.
