I cannot seem to get Emacs to recognize either the control or shift
modifiers for any of the arrow or 6-pack keys. Only the meta-key
modifier seems to be recognized. Is there some variable I need to set
to make the use of control and shift modifiers of these keys possible?
I responded about the Control modifiers earlier. Shift modifiers of
these keys are likewise simply ignored unless you are directly
communicating with a window system. Also, unless you are directly
communicating with a window system, Shift-TAB is the same as TAB, C-A
is the same as C-a and so on. Again, the only solution I know of is
to only use such bindings for window manager bindings and other
bindings that only make sense when directly communicating with a
window system.
Again, maybe other people know better solutions.
Sincerely,
Luc.
