Juanma
Thank you following up on my report.
On Windows XP when I type in greek in emacs and I need to save, I simply type Ctr-x Ctr-s irrespective of the keyboard mode (English or Greek).
On the Mac OS version of emacs, I have to turn into english, issue Ctr-x Ctr-s and then return beck to greek to continue.
I assume that all users of alternative keyboards would expect that an Alt or Ctr combination should be sending an emacs command just like the behavior in Windows XP emacs.
I just verified this in
This is GNU Emacs 23.3.1 (x86_64-apple-darwin, NS apple-appkit-1038.35)
of 2011-03-10 on black.porkrind.org
and
This is GNU Emacs 23.1.1 (i386-mingw-nt5.1.2600)
of 2009-07-30 on SOFT-MJASON
In my humble understanding, the behavior of the Mac emacs is a bug :-)
