C-c behaving wierd in Emacs on Mac

C-c behaving wierd in Emacs on Mac

[Torben Hoffmann]

Hi,

I am experiencing a weird behaviour with C-c: when I press it alone Emacs almost instantly completes with a timeout and I am left with no action.

In some modes I can do a C-c C-c to comment out the marked region, but due to the weird C-c behaivour I have to do 4 times C-c in order to get what I want.

I am using Emacs.app 24.1.50, so it should be vanilla GNU Emacs I am using (or as close as you can get to that on a Mac).

Any clues?

Thanks in advance,
___

Try GNU Emacs 24.2.50! Or try the stable version 24.2!

How did you configure and compile? Which OS version are you using?

I have just installed the stable 24.2 version and the problem remains... :-(

Mac OSX 10.8.2.
http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/
/usr/local/Cellar/emacs/HEAD (3913 files, 121M) *
   Installed with: --cocoa, --use-git-head

brew install emacs --cocoa --use-git-head

But now I have it installed with

brew install emacs --cocoa

And as stated above the problem remains.

I will have to go through my configuration files and see if there is 
something there that could explain this.

Cheers,

Last update: I tried to forget fully about my .emacs.d config and run a 
"bare" emacs... it works.

Now on to some bisection of my config to figure out which thing that is 
causing this problem... only O(ln n) away from a solution :-/

This sounds more likely! (Although the "AppKit Emacs" once had a problem with C-x when you had in Mac OS X a key binding with Esc…)

What's the difference between OS X and Vista?

Microsoft employees are excited about OS X…

And now I have found the culprit: cua-mode (yes, I am a weakling with a 
lack of faith in the force and so on).

With that out everything works!

cua-mode is not on the dark side.  But one of its main features is
exactly the one that bothers you: multiplex cleverly "C-c/C-x as
Copy/Cut" and "C-c/C-x as prefix keys".  This said, under Mac OS X you
shouldn't need this multiplexing since you should expect Cmd-c/Cmd-x to
do Copy/Cut (of course, if Cmd is mapped to Meta, you get clashes with
M-x and M-c, where the M-c clash is probably minor, but the M-x one is
more annoying, tho it's easy to move M-x's command to some other key).
