After an exchange of comments on the Emacs wiki, that left me wondering...Is there any place in the Emacs documentation that explains that you *can* type C-M-@, C-@, C-M-\, C-\ and C-] on an AltGr-challengedkeyboard, *provided* that you use the right order, i.e., AltGr, rightCtrl, and then the modified key? For example, on my Spanish keyboard: C-M-@ => AltGr RCtrl Alt 2 C-@ => AltGr RCtrl 2 C-M-\ => AltGr RCtrl Alt º C-\ => AltGr RCtrl º C-] => AltGr RCtrl + It is non-obvious: it doesn't work if you press other key before AltGr, or if you use left control.I suspect this is keyboard dependent. I do C-\ all the time with both right and left control, and I press Ctrl-AltGr-+ (hold down all three keys at the same time, which I press first or last does not matter) on my swedish keyboard (and add Alt to that, i.e. Alt- Ctrl- AltGr-+, gets me M-C-\, but it is not very ergonomic). The trick above does not work for me at all.What OS I you using? Which version of Emacs?
Well, GNU/Linux in many flavors, FreeBSD, Solaris, MacOSX (but there I have no idea how to get C-\). A very recent (a few days old) CVS Emacs.
