Hi emacs users,

I'm using emacs within unbuntu terminal with -nw option. However some
keybinds can not be used, such as [control-home], [control-end],
[control-;] (I bind this key to comment-or-uncomment-region).

Does anyone has this problem, how to solve it?

Thanks in advance.

Don't use it in "unbuntu terminal with -nw!" This programme has a  
reduced set of keyboard events. Obviously the key combinations you  
want to use have not been programmed. As in most terminal emulations ...

Who the fsck is "General Failure," and why is he reading my disk?

Thanks for the reply. But I do need "emacs -nw" sometimes. In fact, I found
there is a solution as mentioned in the following page. Unfortunately, it is
too old and the link of the solution is bad.

Technically speaking, the solution proposed at the end of the thread
is for the tty consoles, not for terminal emulators. (=

You can file a bug on gnome-terminal (maybe better on libvte) or you
can try with a bare xterm in combination with xterm-extras.el. Look in
the file comment on what to add to your ~/.Xdefaults (or
~/.Xresources)...
