The fact is that it helped the OP in this case. But the keyboard has to send characters in *some* encodings, doesn't it? So wouldn't it be enough to ensure that the keyboard coding system and the coding system used by Emacs to read ~/.emacs are the same? Did the OP try the above method, or did he just try the unibyte thing? It seems to me if the make-codings-agree method works, it should be used, since it is cleaner. IMHO. -- This line is not blank.
