- Two options:
-
- 1. Run emacs in it's own X11 window (a.k.a. DECwindow). Ctrl-S and
- Ctrl-Q will work just fine.
-
- 2. Ctrl-S ==> Ctrl-\
- Ctrl-Q ==> Ctrl-^
-
- Do this via keyboard-translate-table:
-
- Documentation:
- áString used as translate table for keyboard input, or nil.
- Each character is looked up in this string and the contents used instead.
- If string is of length N, character codes N and up are untranslated.
