* This message was CC'ed to xemacs-pathes. * Please reply directly becuase I'm not subscribed to list I'm using XFree86 4.1.0 and XEmacs-nomule 21.4.4. My native language is Russian and I use ru-keys.el[1] to assign appropriate values to "ascii_character" property of Cyrillic_XXX keysyms. I want to input Cyrillic chars in KOI8-R codepage, and ru-keys.el sets ascii_character properties this way. However, I found out that since 21.4.3 my keyboard becomes garbled each time MappingModifier event occurs. After this event Cyrillic_XXX keysyms produce characters which correspond not to "KOI8-R" codepage, but to "ISO-8859-5" one. Exploration of event-Xt.c led me to function "maybe_define_x_key_as_self_inserting_character" which is called from "x_has_keysym", which in turn is called from "x_reset_key_mapping", which is called each time Mapping* event occurs. This function assigns self-insert command to keysym if it is not defined in (current-global-map), but changes "ascii_character" property for that keysym notwithstanding that keysym has some command bound to it and it ascii_character property changed. This is desired behavoir during start-up, but after that it causes harm to users. I think that following patch could be used as remedy: --- event-Xt.c.orig Thu Apr 12 21:23:40 2001 +++ event-Xt.c Tue Jul 31 01:14:56 2001 ＠＠ -310,9 +310,11 ＠＠ { extern Lisp_Object Vcurrent_global_map; extern Lisp_Object Qascii_character; - Fput (symbol, Qascii_character, character); if (NILP (Flookup_key (Vcurrent_global_map, symbol, Qnil))) - Fdefine_key (Vcurrent_global_map, symbol, Qself_insert_command); + { + Fput (symbol, Qascii_character, character); + Fdefine_key (Vcurrent_global_map, symbol, Qself_insert_command); + } } } PS1: Here are headers from ru-keys.el I use: ;; ru-keys.el -- support for Russian keys for XEmacs. ;; ;; Version: 0.3.2 ;; ;; Copyright (c) Business Computer Service, Ltd. 2000-2001 ;; Written by Andrew W.
