Hi! There are several issues with running Emacs under cygwin. One of them is that C-x C-c does not work by default when emacs is run in the Cygwin terminal. It seems that to solve this CYGWIN needs to contain "tty", but that does not work by default. One way to solve this would be to move the emacs binary to /usr/libexec and make /usr/bin/emacs a shell script: #!/bin/bash # maybe add a test and do this iff $TERM == cygwin CYGWIN=tty /usr/bin/libexec/emacs $* # reset is needed because otherwise the terminal seems to be left # in a strange state after exiting emacs. reset Another issue is that the Cygwin terminal does not really support "underline". If emacs is trying to use "underline" will change the foreground color to "cyan". This can be fixed in the CVS versions of Emacs, I will do it soon. C-SPC does not work in a Cygwin terminal. Is there a way to fix this? --dan -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
