Re: I can't use Alt+Shift

Maybe something below is useful:
- Make sure your terminal or GUI transfer the key to the place you run
emacs. To confirm this, you can use "showkey" in console-tools for
terminal, or "xev" in X.
- If it is transferred, make sure you can see the same "scan code" in
emacs, with "Ctrl-h l", which will show you latest keyboard strokes.
- If you can see the strokes in emacs, make sure it is combined with
the emacs keymap. "Ctrl-h b" will show you all the mapping. "M-right"
or "M->", I am not sure which one you like, should be combined with
the key.
- In the end, make sure <M-right> is combined with some emacs
interactive function.

Hope I didn't miss anything here, and hope the hints are helpful to you.

Best Regards,

When its host is not able to receive or distinguish the signals about the keys being pressed (or released), then the host cannot send anything to its guest. (You might try to teach your terminal emulation a bit more key events.) So GNU Emacs does not receive anything. To check what it might receive you can press, for example in *scratch* buffer, C-q and then some desired key combination. By this means you record anything the host programme sends to its guest GNU Emacs. You can also type C-h l, which shows a recording of what you typed. Or actually of what GNU Emacs received from your keyboard work...
