Now to address those replies: > I don't see this problem on Windows XP SP2. I'm beginning to suspect the problem is related to Windows 7. Does any one running Vista or Windows 7 have this problem? > I do not see this problem either on Windows XP, but I wonder if you > have sticky keys turned on, Joe? Sticky keys are off. > Does it look like this in the minibuffer? Describe key (or click or menu > item): C-)- IOW, ending with a with a dash, with the cursor after the dash? No, it completely ignores "C-)". For example the key sequence: "C-h k C-) g" results in "C-h k g". Emacs describes the `self-insert- command' because that's what 'g' does. > You say that this also happens to you if you start Emacs using `emacs -Q'? If > so, then consider filing a bug: `M-x report-emacs-bug'. AFAIK, `C-)' should > not be bound to anything by default in virgin, vanilla Emacs. (describe-key > (kbd "C-)") should say simply `C-) is undefined'. Yes, "emacs -Q" also ignores "C-)". I'm hesitant to file a bug report because I think I might have done something silly on my system. I'd like to first see if "C-)" is recognized in another application. Are there any Windows applications to show keypresses? > What does that help say? It shows the help for `paredit-forward-slurp-sexp', which is what I expect.
