CTRL-C is not remappable in the normal cygwin console due to windows constraints. 2 more options: 1. Run emacs under the X-Windows server. 2. Use M-x kill-emacs, which is either: a. Hit the key ALT-x, then type kill-emacs, then hit the key ENTER. b. Hit the key ESCAPE, then hit the key x, then type kill-emacs, then hit the key ENTER. -Richard Campbell. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
Re: cygwin's emacs
OK someone sent me a FAQ which did do the trick. In the cygwin.bat file in C:\cygwin I entered this before the call to the bash shell: Set CYGWIN=tty notitle glob Are there any gotchas here? tty seems amenable enough as does notitle. But the one that has me worried is glob. I don't want my cygwin globbing anything into Not Working if I can help it. Thanks.
