Re: undo (C-/) for terminal version of emacs not working

I use the emacs in terminal mode (-nw) quite a bit, and I haven't be
able to figure this out.

When I run emacs in either the cmd.exe or the rxvt window I can't get
the terminal to send a C-/ character.  Many other C- functions work
(like C-space in rxvt as discussed here:
http://sourceware.org/ml/cygwin/2004-01/msg00144.html).

If I run an xterm from X it behaves as expected, but I would rather not
have to start up X just to get a functional terminal.


One thing you could try is to use/not use shift with that key. I know that this sometimes matters.

I tried pressing shift and the key still doesn't reach the shell.


If I do M-x describe-key and and try to enter the command C-/, emacs doesn't get the C-/ or C-? keys. To emacs, it's as if I never pressed them.

Is windows somehow intercepting the keys? Is the shell not passing the keys for some reason? Is there a way to detect where the breakdown of communication exists.

Thanks,
James
