Emacs w,ith Ubuntu and Alt-arrow

Emacs w,ith Ubuntu and Alt-arrow

[Steve Prud'Homme]

Hi,
I use emacs with Ubuntu in console mode (plain text, not windowed).
Also, i use the org mode.
I want to know how to avoid the console change with the shortcut
alt-arrow because the org mode use the M-Arrow shortcut.
Thanks

I cannot reproduce your problem in Ubuntu 11.11 but upgrading your
distribution may not the solution your are looking for :)

In my setup, I can edit the keyboard shortcuts for individual
applications using gconf-editor. Just look under the key
/apps/gnome-terminal/keybindings.

I can confirm on my 11.10 system that I have the same problem as you,
but I don't normally run emacs within a tty terminal, so it doesn't
affect me too badly.

Someone else seemed to think that a reinstall resolved this problem
for them on 11.04:
http://askubuntu.com/questions/47765/switching-tty-shortcut

I personally don't think a reinstall is a good solution, but it may be
worth asking the original poster to that thread (Sid) if the problem
recurred on 11.10. 

J'espère que cela vous aide,
Jonathan

Do you mean you run emacs in a console without X?  If so, look at loadkeys, which should allow you to change the predefined bindings.

Or do you mean you run emacs inside of a gnome-terminal?   If so, look in the menu of gnome-terminal.  There's a way to configure the keybindings.
