Reproduced. Still present in xemacs-21.4.14. *** Bug 112977 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** |
Description of problem: I use the shift key as modifier to certain function keys to access emacs functions. The key combinations are defined in .emacs aka .xemacs/init.el for example: (global-set-key '(shift f9) 'query-replace) The xemacs version shipped with RedHat 9 does not register the shift key as a modifier. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): XEmacs 21.4 (patch 12) "Portable Code" [Lucid] (i386-redhat-linux, Mule) of Thu Feb 20 2003 on porky.devel.redhat.com How reproducible: always, even if global-set-key directive is absent. Steps to Reproduce: 1. open xemacs 2. type 'Ctrl-h k' to invoke key function dictionary 3. type 'Shift-f9' etc Actual results: xemacs returns info for f9, not Shift-f9 Expected results: should return info for Shift-f9 Additional info: switching off default gnome desktop shortcuts did not make a difference. .Xmodmap is loaded and respected. .Xdefaults is ignored, however that should not make a difference in my case. have not tried running under KDE.
