Hello,
Currently, I am using emacs and multi-tty a lot more than I had ever
imagined. I love the speed and the low resource usage for my remote
connections.
I never managed to get shift selection working (loadkeys does not work
asI have a remote terminal connection using Putty). I am hoping
someone on this list has a hack to make it work.
TIA

Hello,
So, I presume the shift selection problem cannot be solved on remote
multiple tty sessions of emacs... Can ctrl be bound instead of shift
so that ctrl-arrow can do the selection?

That is not true. It works just fine with xterm. You have a problem
with putty that does not send different key codes for keys and
shifted keys. There's nothing emacs can do about that. Putty needs
fixing...

I made a patch for this a couple of years ago. It was never accepted
into putty, but the patch is available still from Emacswiki I think.

Thank you for the information.The link to the patch is invalid. I will
try if I can figure out a way t make it work for me! Is there some
other terminal emulator that I can use on Windoze to connect to
GNU/Linux and run emacs in multi-tty.
