Date: Sun, 17 Dec 2006 02:34:23 +0100 From: Lennart Borgman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> CC: Francis Wright <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, emacs-pretest-bug@gnu.org I did not follow this thread very carefully. However after some tips a year ago or more on EmacsWiki I wrote the following tip in the documentation that comes with EmacsW32: <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< AltGr+Control - Is That Possible? Emacs uses some keys that are a combination of AltGr+Control. Those keys might seem impossible to type on MS Windows since you might have heard that AltGr is the same as Alt+Control. The truth is that AltGr is the same as /Alt+Left Control/. You can still use the /AltGr+Right Control/. /Important:/ You must type /AltGr/ before /Right Control/! Normally the order between shift, control etc does not matter, but here they do. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Is that correct according to what you have found now, or?
For me, in Emacs 22, by default RCtrl-AltGR is equivalent to Ctrl-Meta provided I press the RCtrl key first and hold it, then press AltGr, which is the other way around to what you wrote above! If I press and hold AltGr and then press RCtrl, the RCtrl makes no difference.
If I set w32-recognize-altgr to nil then AltGR alone is equivalent to Ctrl-Meta and RCtrl has no effect, regardless of precisely when I press it.
Maybe it's correct, but it's not really relevant. We were talking about the w32-recognize-altgr option, which is pertinent to support of ALtGr itself, either the literal key or its equivalent combination Alt+Control. We said nothing about AltGr+Right Control.
Yes. However, I think it might be useful to document in the Emacs manual the way that RCtrl affects AltGr, which seems to be specific to Emacs and is not something that I would have expected.
