Subject: Cant type unicode in emacs any more
Date: Tue, 29 Apr 2014 04:22:49 -0700 (PDT) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <0cab7d04-ccf8-47e4-858b-bb16b478cad6@googlegroups.com> (raw)
For some time now I have this in my X startup programs:
$ setxkbmap -option compose:menu
After this I can type (in mostly any window) for example:
(with MN being the windows-menu key)
MN.. gives ... ie an ellipses
MN--. gives - ie an en dash
MN--- gives -- ie an em dash
Not to mention all the e" giving ë
etc etc - all the unicode goodies at
/usr/share/X11/locale/$LANG/Compose
Now suddenly its stopped working.
ie it works in most other X apps but not in emacs
I thought there may be a race-condition between the setxkb and emacs
which are both in my startup programs.
So I ran the setxkb command by hand from a shell and (re)started emacs
from the shell
No luck:
The compose works outside emacs
Doesn't work inside
Any clues?
Its the same for emacs 23 and 24
