 Alt-Gr in Emacs misinterpreted Dear Gentoo users After emerging some time ago, I have got the annoying side effect that the Alt Gr key is not properly interpreted by Emacs. I guess that alt-gr is also sometimes called the right-alt. I need to use alt-gr to type special character such as "\" "$" "@" etc. on my Danish keyboard, but when I e.g. try to search for "\" using "Ctrl-s \", emacs terminates the search command as soon as I press alt-gr, such that when I continue to hold down alt-gr and the press "\", then "\" is entered into the text at the cursor position. Has anyone gotten a fix for that?

Is there anything in ~/.Xmodmap eg keycode 0x71 = Alt_R ? -- Simon Kellett, Darmstadt, Germany | http://home.arcor.de/zoxed Gentoo Linux, Fvwm, Firefox | Xemacs, vm, Gnus |

| Re: Alt-Gr in Emacs misinterpreted Dear Simon and others Case solved. It appears that the newest version of Xfree has changed details about the keyboard events, and this conflicts with latest stable emacs. One of my friends help me, and I'm now running the unstable, emacs-21.3-r5, which I got by adding, =app-editors/emacs-21.3-r5 ~x86 in my /etc/portage/package.keywords file.
