What does that mean? Does nothing happen at all? Does C-h k ^ say anything? Are you using emacs from the terminal? If so, does ^ work in the shell? I'm assuming you're using a German keyboard layout. Does it work using an US keyboard layout. Might ^ be configured as a dead key? regards, Nikolaj Schumacher
