hallo,
under sgi irix (6.5.13m) the XK_Multi_key and the dead_keys are
not working in emacs-21.2.
the reason is a difference between the run-time behaviour
of XmbLookupString and the description in the manual:
---
XLookupNone No consistent input has been composed so
far. The contents of buffer_return and
keysym_return are not modified, and the
function returns zero.
---
in fact, after pressing Multi_key ' a we have status_return == XLookupNone
AND nbytes == 1 with the correct latin1-character "á" in the buffer.
my little patch helps emacs to deal with this situation
patch for
eamcs-21.2/src/xterm.c near line 10449
if (status_return == XLookupNone && nbytes >0) { /* should not appear, but...
*/
keysym = NoSymbol;
}
else {
if (status_return == XLookupNone)
break;
else if (status_return == XLookupChars)
{
keysym = NoSymbol;
modifiers = 0;
}
else if (status_return != XLookupKeySym
&& status_return != XLookupBoth)
abort ();
}
best regards
i.b.
