Hello together.
# Introduction
I am quite new to emacs and building my init.el based the "Emacs from
Scratch" (by System Crafter) videos. In org-mode I experience some wired
behavior of the SHIFT-TAB key when (un)folding headings in an
.org file.
# Problem
In some cases SHIFT-TAB creates a M-[ ~ is undefined message or simply
does not work without an error message.
# System
Debian 11
GNU Emacs 27.1 (build 1, x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 3.24.24,
cairo version 1.16.0) of 2021-03-28, modified by Debian
Copyright (C) 2020 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
# Minimal init.el
This can be used for reproduction.
;; === Package setup ===
(require 'package)
(setq package-archives '(("melpa" . "https://melpa.org/packages/";)
("org" . "https://orgmode.org/elpa/";)
("elpa" . "https://elpa.gnu.org/packages/";)))
(package-initialize)
;; === use-package ==
;; use-package to simplify the config file
(unless (package-installed-p 'use-package)
(package-refresh-contents)
(package-install 'use-package))
(require 'use-package)
(setq use-package-always-ensure 't)
(use-package org)
# Description of the behavior in multiple cases
## Windows SSH-terminal
Form a Windows 10 client and its usual command prompt (not PowerShell,
not Terminal.app) I log into my machine via SSH and (of course) use
emacs in none-gui mode then. TAB works. But SHIFT-TAB produce the M-[ ~
is undefined error.
## A tty terminal (Debian 11)
Here TAB works. But S-TAB does not. The latter does not produce any
error message. There is simply no reaction on that button.
## Cases in where it is NOT reproducable
- Gui mode in XFCE session on Debian 11
- Terminal emulator (terminator) in a XFCE session on Debian 11
- SSH terminal from Debian 11
## Sidenotes
There is a stackoverflow QA for this:
https://stackoverflow.com/q/3518846 The solution there does not work
for me (Emacs from Debian 11).
This problem is totally out of my scope of understanding.
Thanks in advance
