I found the solutions: in the default settings of emacs under ubuntu, the key has been set as (global-set-key [right] 'forward-char-nomark) (global-set-key [left] 'backward-char-nomark) (global-set-key [up] 'previous-line-nomark) (global-set-key [down] 'next-line-nomark) In .emacs set following command (global-set-key [right] 'forward-char) (global-set-key [left] 'backward-char) (global-set-key [up] 'previous-line) (global-set-key [down] 'next-line) Now this is the same as the default settings with emacs under other linux distributions e.g. fedora or mandriva I just wonder why Ubuntu made such a strange change? _______________________________________________ info-gnus-english mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-gnus-english
