Subject: Strange characters produced by M-x in emacs -nw
Date: Tue, 17 Sep 2013 12:51:08 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87r4cnmlxf.fsf@newsguy.com> (raw)
Running recent emacs-24
on Debian Linux
I don't often use emacs -nw any more and just noticed today that I
have some kind of charset or LANG setting problem that is causing
unusual characters to be printed to my files when using the ALT key
for combos like M-x.
(I hope these characters are reproduced in this post)
`M-x' produces 'ø'
`M-Shift + !' produces '¡'
`M-shift + : produces 'º'
What kind of setting is likely to be causing this?
------- --------- ---=--- --------- --------
The above problem was uncovered today because I wanted to use
emacs -nw. But also I wanted to make emacs start in message mode by
passing what ever is necessary to do that from the command line.
emacs -nw -f message-mode file does not set message-mode although if
I insert text-mode rather than message-mode it will start in text-mode.
How can I cause emacs -nw to start in message-mode from the command
line.
One further question is how to pass elisp on the command line to be
processed by emacs as it starts.
emacs -nw <Syntax for passing elisp> file
