That's right, "C-x s" produces "C-x dalet". But the original gripe was regarding Ctrl- and Alt-modified characters, and these do work on Windows as I'd expect. Could you and Larry please look for an option of the X keyboard driver to leave the Ctrl- and Alt-modified keys untranslated? This would eliminate at least some of the issue. At least with commands like incremental search, it would be very inconvenient to have to switch the language between C-s and the string, especially since switching the language could produce an input event on some platforms, which will exit the I-search. _______________________________________________ emacs-bidi mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-bidi
