This seems to work correctly for me: KeyPress event, serial 27, synthetic NO, window 0x1000001, 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/
