When I press Control+G
in Emacs (C-g
in Emacs's conventions), it does not do what it is supposed to do, eg quit from a minibuffer, instead it just blinks "Quit" but remains there (so I exit with C-]
etc). At the same time, pressing Ctrl
make a rippling orange dot at the mouse pointer, so I am assuming that Unity is capturing something.
Emacs in a console (emacs -nw
) works fine, C-g
is passed through. This is not an effect of some configuration I have (I tested with emacs -Q
), or a particular Emacs version (I tested with 23, 24, and the current snapshot). Using wily/xenial.
Is there a way I could prevent Unity from interfering with this key?
EDIT I figured it out: if I disable Show location of pointer for the mouse in gnome-tweak-tools
, C-g
is passed through correctly.
EDIT2 This is a known bug. (I won't delete the question so that others can find it.)
