"C-h l" will show what Emacs > gets (or does not get) when you press a key combination. Same symptoms : under the console, C-h l shows nothing at all when I press Alt + Shift combinations. It's as if I had pressed no key at all. Under X, I get M-> or M-3, and in the xterm I get ESC > or ESC 3. Alt alone works fine though. Alt + "<" in the console does M-< and goes to the beginning of the buffer. So could the problem be outside emacs ? obviously emacs is not getting any key when I press Alt + Shift. I have TERM=linux in the console. Joao
