I have debugged further. The problem is in kbd_buffer_get_event of
keyboard.c - it does not read special events when noninteractive. The
following patch cures the problem for me:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
*** /home/albinus/src/emacs/src/keyboard.c.~108144~
--- /home/albinus/src/emacs/src/keyboard.c
***************
*** 3801,3806 ****
--- 3801,3807 ----
}
#endif /* subprocesses */
+ #if 0 /* We want to read special events in batch mode. */
if (noninteractive
/* In case we are running as a daemon, only do this before
detaching from the terminal. */
***************
*** 3811,3816 ****
--- 3812,3818 ----
*kbp = current_kboard;
return obj;
}
+ #endif
/* Wait until there is input available. */
for (;;)
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
However, I don't know whether it has undesired side effects. What do
people think?
Best regards, Michael.
