I use mainly emacs in the linux console. I can use gnu/screen for
holding the session in a remote computer, while I switch off the
computer at home.
In order to pass some key combinations I have to use an extended
version of /usr/share/keymaps/i386/qwerty/us.kmap.gz
I think xterm lets pass most of the control sequences (better than
gnome-terminal). If some key combination is not passed you will have
to modify ~/.Xmodmap
What it would be good is that the linux distributions would provide
extended versions of *.kmap.gz .Xmodmap files for passing more key
combinations.
