Re: prob. bugs in emacs under ubuntu

[yjgzhang@gmail.com]

I found the solutions:

in the default settings of emacs under ubuntu, the key has been set
as

(global-set-key [right] 'forward-char-nomark)
(global-set-key [left] 'backward-char-nomark)
(global-set-key [up] 'previous-line-nomark)
(global-set-key [down] 'next-line-nomark)

In .emacs set following command

(global-set-key [right] 'forward-char)
(global-set-key [left] 'backward-char)
(global-set-key [up] 'previous-line)
(global-set-key [down] 'next-line)

Now this is the same as the default settings with emacs under other
linux distributions e.g. fedora or mandriva

I do not know why Ubuntu has such a strange change?
