This seems to work correctly for me: KeyPress event, serial 27, synthetic NO, window 0x101, root 0x206, subw 0x0, time 22102718, (105,96), root:(2137,224), state 0x1c, keycode 39 (keysym 0x73, s), same_screen YES, XLookupString gives 1 bytes: (13) "" XmbLookupString gives 1 bytes: (13) "" XFilterEvent returns: False It might be the case that M-C-s has been made a Windows shell shortcut key, in which case the Windows shell will process it before X server gets a chance to see it. You might wish to try the -keyhook X server option to see if that changes anything. > I have the left control and the caps lock keys swapped with a registry edit: > > [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Keyboard Layout] > "Scancode > Map"=hex:00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,03,00,00,00,1d,00,3a,00,3a,00,1d,00,00,00,00,00 > You might want to try with that reverted, both to eliminate it and possible mechanical limitations of your keyboard's caps lock key as a cause. > Welcome to the XWin X Server > Vendor: The Cygwin/X Project > Release: 1.5.3.0 (20090222) I know this is the last X server release for Cygwin 1.5, but it is quite old now. While I can't think of any change made which might fix this, I can't rule that out. If this is a bug in the X server, a fixed X server will only be made available for Cygwin 1.7 -- Jon TURNEY Volunteer Cygwin/X X Server maintainer -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/ FAQ: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/

I have also made the caps lock key to a ctrl key and I cannot press ctrl+shift+s when using the "caps lock" key as ctrl key. So it seems for me that on some keyboards some key combinations of more than two keys at the same time are not possible (perhaps due to technical implementation details?)

Why doesn't M-C-s work for me?
--s (will abbreviate as M-C-s from here-on) does nothing for me. Does anyone have any thoughts on why it might not be working? More info: I get no action in either an xterm or an emacs window. If I use right Alt, or right Control, or both, I get the expected action. In emacs, describe-key can see C-s, M-s, C-M-a but cannot see C-M-s, it does not react at all. Likewise, in an Xterm, cat -v can see control a: ^A control s: ^S meta control a: ^[^A but shows nothing for meta control s. xev shows the expected events for everything mentioned above except that pressing "s" while "Control_L" and "Meta_L" are down produces no event.
