However of several attempts none have made it to this gmane.emacs.help. Only if I email to the mailling list does a message appear on the newsgroup. Is that normal or should I be able to post directly to the gmane newsgroup gmane.emacs.help ? (Please excuse the above question) ------- ------- ---=--- ------- ------- I'm Running an 'opensolaris' (now defunct) offshoot named Openindiana/hipster I ran the OS some years ago but just recently returned to it. I got help here back then (at least 5 yrs ago) but have lost any file or notes etc I had back then. As I recall if involved setting up something that used xmodmap; ending with a file read at startup that helped setup the proper key syms I think it was called. I looked at the output from xev on both the solaris alike OS and ubuntu linux but didn't really see how to translate that into some thing useful. I believe I had in ~.emacs, lines I've since lost that helped prevent some of the mess emacs undergoes on solaris; and then emacs would behave mostly as it does on linux. Can anyone here steer me toward some help with getting emacs to behave? Currently I must use 'ESC' anywhere 'M' would be used such as in M-x. That it quite a stretch to get handy with. Also the Ctrl key doesn't behave as it should seemingly rendering it impossible to do simple Ctrl-/ to run undo and redo.. I must use M-x which is really Esc-x undo/redo on this OS for that too. Perhaps some readers run emacs on solaris or openindiana and will know how to get it working correctly?
