Hi, I'm trying out Cygwin's Zsh within Windows Terminal because WT
integrates better with WSL, but Cygwin beats it for working on the Windows
side.
However, I launched emacs and eventually noticed that Ctrl+Space doesn't
work when running under Windows Terminal.
It works on my system. Here's what I did:
1. Start Windows Terminal and run
/path/to/cygwin/bin/zsh -l
2. Launch emacs:
emacs-basic -Q
3. Within emacs, type
C-h k C-SPC
I then see "C-@" echoed in the minibuffer, and the resulting *Help* buffer says
C-@ runs the command set-mark-command (found in global-map), which
is an interactive compiled Lisp function in ‘simple.el’.
It is bound to C-@, C-SPC.
And typing C-SPC does indeed set the mark.
I'm not sure what's different on your system. Could there some be some setting
that's causing C-SPC to be eaten by Windows Terminal instead of being sent to
emacs as C-@?
By the way, if I run emacs-w32 instead of emacs-basic, everything is the same
except that in the first line of the *Help* buffer "C-@" is replaced by "C-SPC".
So emacs-w32 is actually seeing the C-SPC keypress.
Have you tried emacs-w32 to see if that works better for you?
