- Solaris 2.0 (svr4); SS2, compiled with the unbundled compiler.
- Openwindows 3.x; olvwm 3.2
-
- a few minor problems and questions:
-
- + how do I assign a command to C-2 (control 2)
- Every thing I've tried has either complained that C-2 is
- not printable or screwed up another key defn (notably C-R !)
-
- (global-set-key '(control 2) 'set-mark-command)
- (global-set-key "\C-2" 'set-mark-command)
-
- invoking 'global-set-key' interactively does work, however.
-
- + how do you move a screen, using set-screen-position and -0?
- eg: (set-screen-position screen -0 -0)
- is equivalent to 0 0.
- but -1 -1 behaves as expected.
- It's pretty clear what is happening, but how do you work around it?
-
- + is it possible to have an extent within mode-line-format.
- (In epoch you can insert zones in the mode-line-format, and
- get, for example, 'Mail' in a different color)
-
- + How to color the mouse pointer?
- I've tried all of the following, to no effect:
-
- Emacs*pointerBackgroundColor: Red
- Emacs*pointerForegroundColor: Red
- Emacs*pointerColorBackground: Red
- Emacs*pointerColorForeground: Red
- Emacs*pointerColor: Red
-
- + How to set the screen name to the value of a variable?
-
- (setq my-screen-name "example")
- (x-create-screen '((name . my-screen-name)))
-
- just complains that my-screen-name is not a string.
-
- Thanks for any help!
