@node ExtendChar key does not work as Meta
@section Why doesn't my @key{ExtendChar} key work as a @key{Meta} key under HP-UX 8.0 and 9.x?
@cindex @key{ExtendChar} key as @key{Meta}
@cindex @key{Meta}, using @key{ExtendChar} for
@cindex HP-UX, the @key{ExtendChar} key
This is a result of an internationalization extension in X11R4 and the
fact that HP is now using this extension. Emacs assumes that the
@code{XLookupString} function returns the same result regardless of the
@key{Meta} key state which is no longer necessarily true. Until Emacs
is fixed, the temporary kludge is to run this command after each time
the X server is started but preferably before any xterm clients are:
@example
xmodmap -e 'remove mod1 = Mode_switch'
@end example
@c FIXME: Emacs 21 supports I18N in X11; does that mean that this bug is
@c solved?
This will disable the use of the extra keysyms systemwide, which may be
undesirable if you actually intend to use them.
@node SPC no longer completes file names
@section Why doesn't @key{SPC} complete file names anymore?
@cindex @kbd{SPC} file name completion
