Re: OS X System Key Combinations

Hi Peter.

Well, I would agree that its an understanding type.  Most questions usually are.  :)

I'm using GNU Emacs version 24.3  It was obtained here:

http://emacsformacosx.com

As far as I know the X server on my system is not running.  At least not of the type I've used for almost 20 years under Linux.  It doesn't say it explicitly on the website but it certainly looks like it is, indeed, the "AppKit Emacs".

I take it from your response that this should, indeed, be passing the key combinations through to the system using this version of Emacs and that there is something wrong with my installation.  Is that correct?

Thanks for the response and for any further help.

You might try to write Elisp functions that use osascript to access the Mac OS X services… Why isn't your X server or your terminal emulator, in which GNU Emacs runs, providing the access you want?
