Sorry for the trouble. I think I've got it - it turns out I had
no .emacs file. As soon as I made
one and put some unrelated preferences into it (relating to common lisp or
inferior lisp) the weird key behavior went away. What a relief! -----Original Message----- Hello. I've been happily using EMACS for
about 8 months now, mostly as a code editor for C, LISP, and SQL. It's worked great on Windows and Linux,
so much so that I'm hooked.
Recently I loaded Mandrake 9.2 Linux on my Linux partition, replacing
Red Hat 8 (the computer is an HP Pavillion, Pentium 4 processor). The EMACS installation that came with
Mandrake has keys that only work once when you hold them down (if I type in C-n,
holding both keys down, the cursor stops and waits for me to press C-n again to
move down another line). Is this
something that can be controlled by setting a variable in the .Emacs file or is
it a quirk of the OS? Thanks in
advance for helping out a newb. CBT |
