The most noticable one is emacs is that Ctrl-space does not set mark. Someone already showed me how to make the Alt key work like I expect. (setq x-alt-keysym 'meta) That was actually the biggest annoyance. But having to do M-x set-mark-command by hand is a close second. Viewing the losage with C-h l I do not see anything recorded when I press Ctrl-spc. Whereas on a linux os I see Ctrl-spc, but if I hold just a tiny bit longer than usual I get: So what can I do about the dead Ctrl-spc when running OpenSolaris?
