Hi,
My problem may be unrelevant on this list but this is a problem I
only have in emacs.
So, I am trying to use S-f10 C-f10 and friends in GNU Emacs (CVS)
in the linux console.
I have set some global-set-key and emacs does not complain.
Problem is that if I am trying to press S F10, it is interpreted
as being F20. I am not an expert of the linux console key setup
thus, I just want to know if the problem is known or if it is a
bug ?
Also, it seems I can't type symbols such as "copyright" in the
console (in emacs), is it linked to the problem mentionned above
?
Regards
Xavier

It's because there's no control code sequences to encode such a
key choard.
You should bind some other key sequence to reach these commands.
For example, in X, we can type C-1 C-0 x to insert ten xs. But
there's no control code corresponding to digit keys. So in a
terminal, we have to type C-u 1 0 x to insert ten xs (it works in X
too).

Yes.
You can get the copyright character, which is in the iso-8859-1
character set, by typing C-x 8 C
See: iso-transl.el
C-h f iso-transl-define-keys RET
