Thanks for the input, glad to hear someone say it isnt just me. I´m
new enough with osol to not be sure if its some of my doing.
I´ve turned off every available shortcut with `disable´ and see no
change. Yes I restarted X.
I still have nothing at Ctrl-spc in emacs which should execute:
set-mark-command.
Maybe together we can get to the bottom of this. It seems like it
must have to be something to do with keyboard drivers. I selected the
the default # 41 during install. Don´t remember now what it was, and
the American english.
(my /etc/X11/xorg.conf section on keyboard appears at the end)
Here is one thing you can help me with. When I try to type a single
quote or double quote. I get nothing on the first try but if I hit
the key twice I get a different looking smaller pair, in the case of
double quotes, and a forward leaning single quote.
You may see some odd looking characters in my messages. Below I will
put single quotes around the word single, double quotes around double
and backtics around back.
Please tell me how they appear to you:
´single´ ¨double¨ `back`
This can start occuring in the middle of a session or at the start.
But does not always happen. I see it in emacs and at an xterm
cmdline.
While typing this message from emacs I see an odd short looking double
quote and a forward leaning single quote... the backtics look normal
but it still takes 2 strokes each to get them. Takes 2 strokes to get
a tilde to (~).
When viewing my own posts by ssh into a linux box and read messages
with emacs (-nw style) over ssh. I see question marks (?) in the
place of those double and single quotes. So it is apparently
inserting some kind of foreign language character set in those 2
stroke cases.
Its not strictly an emacs issue because as I said above I see this at
the Xterm command line too.
I´m not sure how to further track this down.
