Hello I'm using Cygwin on Windows Seven 64bit, with the bépo keyboard layout (http://bepo.fr/wiki/Accueil bépo is a keyboard layout optimized for french users)
Using this layout, I can't write a '_' in bash. bépo layout binds '_' to the key sequence Ctrl+Alt+SPACE (or Altgr+SPACE). All native windows applications understand this sequence, and print a '_'. However, pressing Ctrl+Alt+SPACE (or Altgr+SPACE) when I'm at the bash prompt doesn't print anything. If I write directly to cat standard input (after typing 'cat' and press return), then I get what looks like a space, but is a null character (hexadecimal ascii code = 00) With vi, in insertion mode, pressing Ctrl+Alt+SPACE (or Altgr+SPACE) trigger this message: E29: No inserted text yet However, other bépo bindings, including Altgr bindings, works seemlessly, and I can get all the characters, even no ascii and accentuated characters. It seems that the only key sequence encountering issue is Ctrl+Alt+SPACE (or Altgr+SPACE). Does cygwin or one of the underlying library handles this sequence in a specific way? Does someone has already encountered an issue with altgr+space binding and know how to resolve it?
