RE: Antwort: Re: C-SPC does not work

["Ludwig, Mark" <ludwig.mark@siemens.com>]

I use Emacs 23.1.1 on a Dell laptop running Windows 7.  Both C-SPC and C-@ work and show up via C-h l (as expected).

(I've had problems with C-SPC in the past, usually because of something like telnet getting in the way, but I've never had trouble with C-@ working....)

HTH,

Mark

I just tried in a Windows 7 Virtual Machine.  I have Emacs 23.2 installed.

I do C-<spc>, and it works.

I do C-<shift>-2 (aka C-@), and it works as well. (On your keyboard, @ might be somewhere other than <shift>-2)

Is your keyboard the same as what Windows think is your keyboard.  I don't think I've ever seen C-@ not working while using emacs.

As a last resort you could:

(global-set-key "C-cm" 'set-mark)

Thank you all for your response. To answer your questions: 

1. When typing C-SPC and then C-h l Emacs doesn`t show the C-SPC keypress in the buffer, but "C-h l" 
2. Also C-@ does not work to mark text 
3. I also downloaded the newest official windows release from http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/windows/. But also in this distribution the problem is still the same. 

Any further comments? 
Cheers, 
TIM

I don't know who Vincent Goulet is, is this version the same as the
official pre-compiled GNU Emacs for Windows that can be found at:

http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/windows/
