Try xev(1) from xterm in X - /usr/bin/xev, likely - and hit the different keys. Do you (the OP) get different results? I do, but I also get an annoying little window which reports the keypresses. With 'emacs -nw', don't you still have the terminal window to do this? Maybe the reason is: 'emacs -nw' doesn't only say "run Emacs in a terminal", perhaps it also says "...then we don't need to bother about some modules" and those are precisely what you would need. Regardless of whatever, those keys are not good (neither) as they involve moving your right hand out of typing position. You have more luck, and more speed, with shortcuts that don't require you to move your hands from the "asdf" and "jkl;" positions. Another approach would be to do a little configuration to the GUI Emacs: get away with the menu, scrollbars, and so on. Soon, it'll look just like the terminal version and with modern computers it should be just as fast as well. -- underground experts united http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573
