I am running Emacs from a BASH shell under CYGWIN. I have tried changing
the terminal type from the default "cygwin" by doing
TERM=<term type>
export TERM
for 10-15 different terminal types. Emacs seems to notice that I have
changed terminal type, for it changes the names of the keys. However, in
every case, the control and shift modifiers are not noticed.
Can you suggest a terminal type for which these modifiers should work?
Thanks for the help.
Regards,
Charles
