Hello, I am using xmonad and so far I love it! However, there seems to be a keybinding conflict (I think) with emacs. Control-space is the "set-mark-command" option in emacs and it does not seem to work when xmonad is present. The alternative keybind (Control-@) seems to work though. When I take xmonad off, the keybind works again. Not sure what is going on, I checked the FAQ and the maillist history and no one seems to be having this problem which is strange since emacs is a fairly common program My config file is fairly straightforward: import XMonad import XMonad.Config.Gnome main = xmonad gnomeConfig { modMask = mod4Mask -- Use Super instead of Alt -- more changes } I am using Ubuntu 14.04.2 with xmonad version 0.11 Has anyone used xmonad with emacs before? I remapped the meta key to the super key, thinking that this may cause the conflict but it didn't fix it. - Steve

What's the other window manager / desktop environment? My guess is it loads a different keymap which sets up control-space to produce NUL. -- brandon s allbery kf8nh sine nomine associates allbery.b@gmail.com ballbery@sinenomine.net unix, openafs, kerberos, infrastructure, xmonad http://sinenomine.net
