I am running GNU Emacs 21.2 under a cygwin BASH shell on an XP-2003

"inverted T on my keyboard. Unfortunately, Emacs does not seem to
notice when the the control modifier is used with these keys. The
same is truewhen the control modifier is used with keys on the "6-pack."
I have tried changing the TERM environment variable. While that
changes the definitions of the keys themselves (e.g., <home> may
become <find>), I still am unable to use the control modifier with
these keys.
These are not ASCII control characters. Such keys only work if you
are directly communicating with a window system. If you are often in
situations where this is not the case, then the only solution I know
of is to only use non-ASCII control characters for window manager
bindings and other bindings that only make sense when directly
communicating with a window system. That is what I personally do. It
may be that certain operating systems (like MS Windows) do not make this
easy.
Maybe other people know more satisfactory solutions.
Sincerely,
Luc.
