Can't press the "^" key

Can't press the "^" key

[Aitor]

Hello,

when executing emacs 20.7.1 in a remote computer (SunOs 5.9) i can't
use the "^" key; whenever i press it, i receive a beep. It happens
only with emacs, since in the remote terminal  window, the "^"
character works fine. I have a linux box installed in my computer.

Does anybody know about this problem ?

regards

                                     aitor

Hit ^, then hit C-h l.  What do you see?

Hit C-h k ^.  What do you see?

"S-dead-circumflex C-h l"

"S-dead-circumflex is undefined"

So, the question is easy :) How do i define "S-dead-circumflex" to the
proper key code ?

I feel the solution near ... :)

thank you

So you might try (global-set-key (kbd "S-<dead-circumflex>") (kbd "^")).
Does it work?
