Awatmath.1677 net.misc utcsrgv!utzoo!decvax!watmath!jcwinterton Tue Feb 9 16:59:19 1982 Cool emacs flame and request for help <FLAME SIMMER TO> Some of the standard key bindings in emacs are becoming a nuisance of great proportion. ^S, ^Q and ^P are all used by the network devices between me and the program, to wit: ^S = xoff (pause, etc) ^Q = xon (continue, etc) ^P = data link escape (for my localnet 20 box I use ^P^H as my command sequence characters to avoid escape,del which has even worse effects) <FLAME OFF> Does someone have a solution to this problem which is reasonable, and still allows network controls on the line? I know I could remove the key bindings but would like some thoughts on alternatives. Also, the UNIX line I normally access is a 9600 bps tandem mode line. Tandem works fine, and I would hate to lose it considering that our system is often heavily loaded. Also, this terminal is an Ann Arbor Ambassador which will also flow control automagically, preventing data loss.
