Subject: capslock changes control characters?
Date: Mon, 18 Feb 2008 19:45:01 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <a9691ee20802181045w576d4130g556577a58c645dcd@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

I tried to insert a TAB into a C++ mode buffer by typing:

  C-q C-i

I got an error:

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (wrong-type-argument char-or-string-p 33554441)
  insert-and-inherit(33554441)
  quoted-insert(1)
  call-interactively(quoted-insert nil nil)

Turns out I had capslock on.  This is reproducible in "emacs -Q" in
the default *scratch* buffer.

$ emacs -Q
[ turn on capslock]
C-q C-i
