Mohamed> Hi, Mohamed> I have a question which I tried to find an answer for in Mohamed> the online FAQ and elsewhere. I just downloaded Mohamed> xemacs-21.4.4 and compiled it for Solaris 2.6. I Mohamed> discovered that the right shif key on my keyboard types Mohamed> an asterisk '*' every time I press it. For example, if I Mohamed> type on the Shift-4 to insert '$' in my buffer, I get Mohamed> '*$'. Would you happen to know why this is happening? I Hi Mohamed, does this only happen in XEmacs 21.4.4? Does it also happen when you start XEmacs as follows? xemacs -vanilla If not, then you have to check your init files (~/.emacs, ~/.xemacs/init.el, ~/.xemacs/custom.el, site-start.el) for the reason. Do you have an older XEmacs, or even GNU Emacs, that you could try this in? Does this happen in shell windows too? Does it happen in vi, if you ever use that one? Best regards, Adrian Mohamed> have always used XEmacs (since version 19 to be exact) Mohamed> and never got this. Is there any key mapping that are Mohamed> assumed in 21.4.4? I had 21.1 before that and was working Mohamed> perfectly fine. Mohamed> Sincerely, Mohamed> M. Ezz -- Adrian Aichner mailto:adrian＠xemacs.org http://www.xemacs.org/
