this is strange indeed. are you experiencing this on the tty console?
or from an ssh session? what is your TERM? $(echo $TERM)

is it really related to udev?!

:-)

If the hotkey functionalities depend on dbus, oops!

Miroslav, you don't say what terminal emulator you're using, or whether
it's a virtual terminal (I sure hope the virtual terminal doesn't
depend on dbus), but I'm pretty sure the behaviors you're describing
are terminal emulator dependent. And I'll bet you dollars to donuts (oh
wait, a donut's worth about a dollar now, I gotta quit using that
saying) that you're *not* using xterm. I'd suggest you try several
terminal emulators, and find one that suits your taste.

If you haven't tried it, I'd recommend lxterminal from the LXDE
project. Full featured, menu, tabbed, from a project that hasn't drunk
the dbus flavored drink (as far as I know).

Also, try xterm. If U have problems with fonts and appearance, I've
gotten fairly good at dealing with that and can help you.

I run openbox (LXDE), too. As stated in my last mail, I have dbus
installed.

In xterm ALT+d prints the "ä", in lxterminal it deletes the characters
to the right.

Analogue with ALT+BACKSPACE and "ÿ" / "delete left".

So CTRL+a and CTRL+e do work, ALT+a and ALT+BACKSPACE don't for all
tested settings / combinations based on xterm.

Just to be sure, I just startx'ed with "dbus-launch lxsession" and also
once with "dbus-launch openbox" in my .xsession - which both didn't
result in any changed behavior: lxterminal is fine, xterm not.

tmux is (like gnu screen) a terminal multiplexer.

OK, yes or no questions, pertaining to work on the physical computer
without tmux:

* Does your problem (which hasn't yet been defined for me) happen in
  xterm under openbox? Y/N

* Does your problem happen in Xterm in another window manager (try
  windowmaker, jwm, etc) Y/N

* Does your problem happen in Suckless Tools st with any window
  manager? Y/N

* Does your problem happen in rxvt or urxvt (your choice) with any
  window manager? Y/N

* Does your problem happen before you run startx (in Ctrl+Alt+F2, for
  instance)? Y/N

Now, same questions while operating *with* tmux, which I heard you
mention several times, and remember: Yes or No

* Does your problem (which hasn't yet been defined for me) happen in
  xterm under openbox? Y/N

* Does your problem happen in Xterm in another window manager (try
  windowmaker, jwm, etc) Y/N

* Does your problem happen in Suckless Tools st with any window
  manager? Y/N

* Does your problem happen in rxvt or urxvt (your choice) with any
  window manager? Y/N

* Does your problem happen before you run startx (in Ctrl+Alt+F2, for
  instance)? Y/N

Now, some yes or no questions about the nature of your problem, or in
other words, what gives you an indication of malfunction:

* Do your hotkeys in question echo an unexpected character? Y/N

* Other than the echo, do your hotkeys in question produce unexpected
  results? Y/N

If the answer to your last question is "Yes", in one short paragraph
describe the unexpected result. Don't put in auxiliary configuration or
what else happened at the same time or suspicions or long strings of
output: All of these can be dealt with later, as soon as we're all on
the same page as to *exactly* what your symptom is. Please place *short*
paragraph about unexpected result below following this colon:

  This is a problem with Xresources if it happens undr Xorg, and/or with
input library keybindings, that is with the .inputrc file.

  Under X I can replicate your problem when I comment this line in
  ~/.Xresources:

*metaSendsEscape: true

  Try uncommenting or adding this line, then run:

xrdb -merge ~/.Xresources

open a new terminal and see if the problem went away.

Yes I am. Contrary to what Steve would have bet (and that mean if he did, I'd
earn a lot of donuts :) ):

mr@gd0v:~$ echo $TERM
xterm
mr@gd0v:~$ 

And only xterm, in Openbox. More about it in my reply to Steve below.

But, @Florian, I do not understand what you confirm above... Do you confirm
that you have the same issue like I described that I have, or just that in
xterm it's that char (or whatever the name) behind the ALD+d?

They may, but I'll do all I can to get a sans-dbus system. My Gentoo (which is
--somewhat-- broken; or more likely broken into, and so Devuan will be my
system for anything online from today) lived without dbus for some three or
four years. A sans-dbus system is possible. I had all I needed. Because frills
and comfort I don't miss at all.

You lose donuts/dollars :) ! It is xterm! And only xterm, in my Openbox. I ran 
"apt-get install
openbox ..." (there's a tip on Openbox in dev1galaxy.org, I, mostly, followed 
it), and
then I purged dbus (that I did by dev1fanboy's tip on gdo). It also removed
xfce which was in my system, because when I installed Devuan, I went for the
default installation.

Yes, this is it (pasting):

mr@gd0v:~$ echo $TERM
xterm
mr@gd0v:~$ 

And only xterm I use, in Openbox.

The last time I used lxde, I had to leave it exactly because it depended on
dbus. That was my last time using Debian. It may have been some two or... less
three years ago. Have things changed? Lxde does not depend on dbus anymore?

I'm afraid it's something lower level than fonts...

But let me see... If I go (the below is also ostentation of my
grsecurity-hardened kernel :), still relatively recent... only 4.9.x for
grsec... troubles in security waters for GNU/Linux, but that's a different
story...):

Ctrl-Alt+1 (or +2...+5, +6 is occupied after I issued 'startx' in it)

Pls. note:

I don't have any issues like I described in these. Alt-D, Alt-Backspace (and
other bash keyboard shortcuts) work fine.

Here's what I mean (plain paste, somewhat shortened actually):

Devuan GNU/Linux 1 gd0v tty1

gd0v login: mr

I was uploading the final isos, now accessible and signed.

the "glitch" is also due to the limited infrastructural availability
we have, for instance on the front server files.devuan.org the space
