I am running the native windows build of Emacs 23.3 on win2000 and using xkeymacs 3.47. After changing the security property of the emacs, /emacs/.emacs.d, and /emacs/.emacs.d/server to an ordinary user rather than the default Administrator and Administrators in order to get emacsclientw working, xkeymacs is exhibiting flaky behavior:
under the xkeymacs keyboard layout setup I see two users, the owner of /emacs and its subdirectories, and Any User. Anyuser shows the the key reassignments made by Keytweak (red highlighted keys) but the emacs owner user shows the mod keys and the swapped Capslock and Backslash keys in the default state. While using Emacs (with xkeymacs disabled) I get expected behavior for all keys except the backslash (which toggles caplock on and off in all apps except Emacs). The Caplock key produces backslash and vertical bar character in all contexts. What would cause Emacs or xkeymacs to ignore only the the key remapped from backslash to Capslock? This was done by reassigning characters to scancodes in the windows registry by Keytweak. Has any one else run into this subtle misbehavior? It looks like it would be enough to make the keyboard layout for the emacs user the same as for Any User, but I have no idea how to accomplish this. ??? Thanks, Ed
