Meta bindings doesn't work with Russian (windows)

Question

Meta bindings doesn't work with Russian (windows)

Closed this issue 7 years ago · 8 comments

You have in description that Meta bindings are translated too.
I have tried Meta+а, Meta+и -- they do nothing (I expect them to move word forward, backward)

Are Meta bindings supported?

Thx!

PS
I have tried to add (add-to-list 'reverse-im-modifiers 'meta) -- doesn't work too.

PPS
Ctrl+Meta+а and Ctrl+Meta+и works...

PPPS
My config is
(use-package reverse-im
:config
(add-to-list 'reverse-im-modifiers 'meta)
(reverse-im-activate "russian-computer"))

I have actually tried the following:

works:
(global-set-key (kbd "M-i") 'forward-word)

doesn't work
(global-set-key (kbd "M-f") 'forward-word)

looks like some meta bindings are kind of special?

If I do ESC а or ESC и then it works -- I can move forward word and backward word.

meta key is already in reverse-im-modifiers list, so there's no need to add it.

What does M-x describe-key M-и say? Do you use any non-standard layout (dvorak, colemak etc)?

I use standard qwerty

C-h k M-и does nothing. Looks like nothing was pressed at all.

Does it work when english layout is active? (I mean M-b)?

And if it does - what about "Alt-и" shortcuts in other apps?

Answer 6 · 2017-06-13T14:48:19.000Z

Yes it works in english layout. (M-b)

I am not sure where to check if M-и works in another applications though.

I have binded M-m as expand-region hotkey and it works for M-ь

Found the problem -- it works with Left Alt but doesn't work with the Right Alt which is AltGr.

Answer 8 · 2017-06-13T15:13:33.000Z

So I have solved it by remapping on OS level AltGr to Left Alt.

Thx!
