Trying the Emacs function "describe-key" with "C-/" to check what Emacs is receiving reveals that Emacs seems to not be receiving anything at all. Why is the keystroke "C-/" not being passed through to Emacs? Another keystroke not passed through seems to be "C-(". Both of the mentioned keystrokes are important to me and I would like to use them in Emacs in Terminal. I noticed some other keystrokes involving the Control modifier _are_ passed through: "C-_" and "C-@" for example. Is this a terminal issue? Is it possible to make the Mac Terminal pass "C-/" and "C-(" through to Emacs?
