---+ !MobaXterm and Emacs

_"Whoever wrote !MobaXterm hated Emacs users." -- David Nichols_
---++ Key bindings

The default keyboard bindings for [[http://mobaxterm.mobatek.net/][MobaXterm]] are not Emacs-friendly, but they're mostly easy to fix.

   1 Click the Settings icon on the toolbar.
   1 Click the X11 tab, and make sure "Unix-compatible keyboard" is *unchecked*.
   1 Click the Misc tab, then click "Edit keyboard Shortcuts." 
      1 Change the shortcut for "Save terminal output" from Ctrl-S to Ctrl-Alt-S.
      1 Change the shortcut for "Find in terminal" from Ctrl-F to Alt-F.
---++ Other annoyances

   * The X font set included with !MobaXterm does not appear to support Asian languages, even in UTF-8 mode.
   * The terminal screen binds Backspace to Ctrl-H, and the setting of the "Unix-compatible keyboard" option does not change this. If you plan to run Emacs in text mode (instead of in an X window) you will need to run the command 'stty erase ^H' first.
