I can't use keybinding C-M-p in the GUI version of emacsclient. I tried removing all customization files and typing "C-h c C-M-p", but emacs responsed as if only "C-h c" was typed and still waiting for the next key. (but "C-h c C-M-n" worked fine) However, both emacs itself and emacsclient without window system works fine. Here are the versions and USE flags: app-editors/emacs-24.3-r6:24 USE="X Xaw3d alsa dbus gif gpm gtk3 jpeg motif png svg tiff xft xpm (-aqua) -athena -games -gconf -gnutls -gsettings -gtk -gzip-el -hesiod -imagemagick -kerberos -libxml2 -livecd -m17n-lib -pax_kernel (-selinux) -sound -source -toolkit-scroll-bars -wide-int" app-emacs/emacs-daemon-0.21 The issue can be reproduced in both app-emacs/emacs-daemon-0.20 and app-emacs/emacs-daemon-0.21. I've tried using either USE="motif -athena -gtk -Xaw3d" or USE="athena Xaw3d -gtk -motif" to compile emacs but it didn't help. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. use emacsclient ("emacsclient -c -a "") to open any elisp or scheme source code 2. try C-M-p and C-M-n to navigate around Actual Results: emacs only responses to C-M-n but not C-M-p Expected Results: C-M-p should work. Not sure if this is actually related to emacs-daemon. If it is not, please point me to some related links, thanks.
What window manager are you using?
(In reply to Ulrich Müller from comment #1) > What window manager are you using? xmonad with some utils from xfce.
I cannot reproduce this here (with xfwm4). My suspicion is that some other application is eating Ctrl-Alt-P. Can you reproduce the problem with another window manager, or in an X rescue session?
I thought this problem was solved with packages updated but I was wrong. I'm using xmonad as my window manager, and use only "xfsettingsd" to help me with keyboard bindings and some font settings (not using xfwm4). Not sure why but it is likely to happen after updating emacs packages. And when it happens, killing xfsettingsd and restarting emacs daemon usually does the trick. The workaround works even after rebooting the system, as long as I don't update any emacs packages...
I think I've figured out what the real problem is: If I bring up emacsclient before xfsettingsd, then everything will be fine. But as long as xfsettingsd gets brought up first, C-M-p won't work. Maybe it's more related to a problem of xfsettingsd than emacsclient, any idea?
Seems unlikely that this is a problem in app-emacs/emacs-daemon, therefore closing.
