Description Mikhail Zabaluev 2002-04-17 13:57:20 MSD 
Control-<key> sequences are handled indifferently in various keyboard layouts by most programs. Emacs happens to do otherwise. It\'s impossible to enter keyboard shortcuts like C-x while in Russian layout. M-x would be nice to work there, too.

Comment 1 imz 2002-11-09 17:45:12 MSK 
in emacs-21.2-alt9 by menas of the uploaded patch.

It changes emacs\' internals, we should be extermely careful that it doesn\'t break  
some correct behaviour in other places.

It\'s idea is like this: if one modifier of the certain modifiers is encountered in inout event, almost the whole state is discarded to acquire the keysym. (Originally, only the encountered modifier used to be discarded in this case.)
