This input doesn't appear in (view-lossage). I've tried loading emacs without an init and site file and the behavior is the same. Does anyone else have this problem, or have a solution?

When I press C-h k C-), emacs (actually `describe-key') continues to wait for a keypress. It doesn't do anything in response to C-). There are no messages in the echo area or in the *Messages* buffer. Interestingly, if I force the issue by evaluating (describe-key (kbd "C-)")), emacs reacts correctly and brings up the help for function associated with the key. I thought maybe I screwed up something on Windows, but logging in as a different user results in the same behavior. Any more ideas? ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 9+ messages in thread

It doesn't do anything in response to C-). Does it look like this in the minibuffer? Describe key (or click or menu item): C-)- IOW, ending with a with a dash, with the cursor after the dash? If it does, that's a sign that `C-)' is defined as a prefix key, for some reason. `C-h k' waits for the rest of the key sequence following the prefix. You can try this, to try to get some more info: `C-) C-h'. With a little luck, if `C-)' is in fact a prefix key this will show you help about `C-)' and its possible completions. The command names bound to the keys might give you a clue about what library is binding `C-)'. You say that this also happens to you if you start Emacs using `emacs -Q'? If so, then consider filing a bug: `M-x report-emacs-bug'. AFAIK, `C-)' should not be bound to anything by default in virgin, vanilla Emacs. (describe-key (kbd "C-)") should say simply `C-) is undefined'. If this same behavior does not occur with `emacs -Q', however, then look in your init file for something that is defining `C-)' (as a prefix key). To find it, use binary search: comment out half your init file, then half of that, and so on, until you narrow down the guilty part. Sounds long, but it's actually very quick to do. > There are no messages in the echo area or in the *Messages* buffer. > Interestingly, if I force the issue by evaluating (describe-key (kbd > "C-)")), emacs reacts correctly and brings up the help for function > associated with the key. What does that help say? If it says `C-) is undefined', then there is likely a problem with `describe-key'. If it gives some command name, then take a look at the library that defines that command. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 9+ messages in thread

Now to address those replies: > I don't see this problem on Windows XP SP2. I'm beginning to suspect the problem is related to Windows 7.

Sticky keys are off. > Does it look like this in the minibuffer? Describe key (or click or menu > item): C-)- IOW, ending with a with a dash, with the cursor after the dash? No, it completely ignores "C-)". For example the key sequence: "C-h k C-) g" results in "C-h k g". Emacs describes the `self-insert- command' because that's what 'g' does. > You say that this also happens to you if you start Emacs using `emacs -Q'? If > so, then consider filing a bug: `M-x report-emacs-bug'. AFAIK, `C-)' should > not be bound to anything by default in virgin, vanilla Emacs. (describe-key > (kbd "C-)") should say simply `C-) is undefined'. Yes, "emacs -Q" also ignores "C-)". I'm hesitant to file a bug report because I think I might have done something silly on my system. I'd like to first see if "C-)" is recognized in another application. Are there any Windows applications to show keypresses? > What does that help say? It shows the help for `paredit-forward-slurp-sexp', which is what I expect. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 9+ messages in thread
