Subject: kill-line behaves differently in terminal and in X!?
Date: 20 Sep 2003 18:36:52 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <87oexfwh5n.fsf@thalassa.informatimago.com> (raw)


C-k, or kill-line, behaves  exasperately differenly in the terminal 
(emacs -nw) and in X.

In the terminal, it does not delete the line, only the characters in the line.
You have to type C-u 1 C-k to kill the line.

In X, kill-line works flawlessly, killing the line.

I've checked  that I've the same kill-whole-line  value (namely: nil),
and I can't find in the el code why it should behave differently.


On X:        GNU Emacs 21.3.50 (i686-pc-linux-gnu) of 2003-06-02 on thalassa
In terminal: GNU Emacs 21.2.1 (i586-suse-linux, X toolkit, Xaw3d scroll bars) of 2003-03-28 on Cameron
but that's been observed for at least version 20.7...

Do not adjust your mind, there is a fault in reality.
