Re: Keys spontaneously rebinding themselves

[David Storrs <david.storrs@gmail.com>]

You're exactly right.  When I started up with -q it worked perfectly.
I experimented with disabling / reenabling certain files and seeing

weirdness, but I'll take it.  Oorah!

Thanks, Peter.

It's also possible that the terminal emulation you are using as host for GNU Emacs is doing some nonsense, sending the wrong characters. C-h l, in case you succeed in inputting these two, will show you what GNU Emacs has received until then.
