The terminfo entry for putty defines kcan=^C, which unfortunately breaks Emacs rather badly. Upon pressing C-h C-c, Emacs tells me <cancel> (translated from C-c) is undefined With Ctrl-C being non-functional, Emacs is next to unusable. :-( What is the reason for the kcan=^C definition?
I didn't notice that - it was in the (fairly large) change by Robert de Bath in 2004-08-07On some older Unix systems, it was not uncommon to see bindings which equated to control keys in stty, e.g., '^\'. That sort of reasoning may have been the origin of this detail. Or perhaps just
completness. -- Thomas E. Dickey http://invisible-island.net ftp://invisible-island.net
