Ar an ceathrú lá de mí na Nollaig, scríobh Zhang Wei: AAAGGH. Still can’t get an IM to run. I suppose that’s my punishment for choosing an OS that’s even less i18n-friendly than Linux. I’ll describe some of how this is supposed to work, to give anyone with a working IM server the chance to debug it. In event-stream.c, there’s the function command_builder_find_leaf. This works out what a key sequence is bound to as you type it. This calls the console method “perhaps_init_unseen_key_defaults” which is intended to give a default binding to a key or a key event for which the associated character should map to self-insert-command. This function should create the binding before any command lookup would fail; evidently it’s not. For the X11 platform, this function is in x_perhaps_init_unseen_key_defaults in console-x.c. -- I AM IN JAIL AND ALLOWED SEND ONLY ONE CABLE SINCE WAS ARRESTED WHILE MEASURING FIFTEEN FOOT WALL OUTSIDE PALACE AND HAVE JUST FINISHED COUNTING THIRTY EIGHT THOUSAND FIVE HUNDERED TWENTY TWO NAMES WHOS WHO IN MIDEAST.
