I'm using Ubuntu 13.04 (unity). When using emacs in nw mode, some emacs key bindings fail to work. For example if I use Alt+v, instead of moving the current page backward, the "View" menu pops up. Even after I canceled the "Show Menubar" option, Alt+v still does not work. Did anybody know how could I resolve the key binding conflicts?

    If this only happens in `-nw` then it's likely that your terminal (which ever one you're using) doesn't support some of the key combinations. That's a very common issue with running emacs without a graphical frame. – Malabarba Jul 08 '13 at 11:53

You can do this:

  1. Click on Edit
  2. Click on Keyboard Shortcuts...
  3. Uncheck "Enable menu access keys".

You can edit your ubuntu key bindings with Compizconfig application. Amazing thing about it for me is you can search a particular key binding. Go to advanced search and check 'search values' check box. Then you can search for <super>.
