Sending a keystroke to the operating system in EmacsW32

As you probably know if you write text in multiple languages and use Emacs, Emacs has its own input method system independent of Windows (or other operating systems). Input methods can be toggled with toggle-input-method command. When Windows language changes, Emacs receives a <language-change> keypress. I would like then to bind <langua...

EmacsW32 renames buffers with old Windows shortened file names.

Let's see if I can reach the EmacsW32 users on stackoverflow. I've just installed the patched version of EmacsW32 from http://ourcomments.org/Emacs/EmacsW32.html I find it very nice that .txt files are associated wth Emacs, so that when you click on one, emacsclient opens it in the running instance of Emacs. Problem is, for some reaso...

how do i keep emacs server running when the current window is closed (x) on windows using emacsW32 ?

Hi, I'm using EmacsW32 (patched) on windows. Emacs is running in server mode so that subsequent calls to emacsclientw open files in the same server session. I have C-x C-c mapped to make the current frame invisible and not kill the emacs server process. I'd like clicking the window's X (close) button to also just hide the frame & not...

how to get grep working in Emacs on Windows (EmacsW32)

M-x grep, M-x lgrep, M-x rgrep don't work in EmacsW32 for me. I do M-x lgrep and it says grep is not a command: grep -i -n "hello" * NUL 'grep' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. Grep finished with no matches found at Sun Jan 31 05:59:06 Also what is that NUL thing? EmacsW32 homepag...

comint-previous-matching-input in emacsw32 is not interactive

I have been using emacsw32 for a year or so, and I never even realized that meta+r is supposed to be interactive and show hits right away! This works in the unpatched emacsw32 client (which is also much newer, btw). Wondering if anyone knows why this is? Is it the patching breaking it or is it the older emacs? Its not very old though, s...

Why would W32 Emacs insert "/Application Data/Application Data/" into a filepath starting with ~/ when I use C-x C-f?

I just installed Emacs Speaks Statistics, which is when this error started showing up. Uninstalling hasn't fixed it. When I use C-x C-f, I can navigate normally, but when I actually press enter, Emacs seems to insert "/Application Data/Application Data/" after "~" in all paths, e.g. if I navigate to: c:/Documents and Settings/admin/My ...
