Scroll_lock doesn't figure any place in the keyboard config I've seen. I've also googled all angles I could think about with MobaXTerm and key events, without finding anything useful. > whatever that is? It's a Windows X11 server combined with a terminal app with putty compatible SSH support, and built in X11 SSH tunneling as well as a lot of other stuff I haven't stumbled over yet. It's a commercial program, but has a free-as-in-gratis version for personal usage. I use MobaXTerm, because a virus checker, over which I have no control, has taken a dislike to cygwin X11, and the other X11 server I have been using, XMing, went commercial in 2019. For the most part MobaXTerm has worked well, and been more stable than cygwin X. This scroll-lock issue is the first strange behaviour I have seen. > Maybe it is it that produces those Scroll_Lock keypresses, for some > reason? Yes, it seems likely. But I have no idea how to verify that this is the case. > If you cannot figure this out, just rebind Scroll_Lock 'ignore. Hm... like so? (global-set-key [Scroll_lock] 'ignore) I tried that in .emacs. Emacs doesn't fail on start, but it didn't help either. Emacs started with that setting, still toggles scroll-lock-mode every time I select the window. Thanks! - Steinar
