Hello,

I'm using emacs 23 in the pythonanywhere bash shell console in a chrome browser. When I try to kill text (ctrl-w) that I highlighted using ctrl-space, the chrome browser tab with my console running closes. The shell session is still running when I go back to the dashboard. I made some .emacs configuration changes but I kept the emacs standard key bindings.

Thanks for the help,

Alex

Unfortunately Chrome is always going to steal that particular keystroke from us.

I believe there may be a workaround -- if you install us from the chrome app store, then you can put pythonanywhere into "app mode" and chrome will no longer steal ctrl-w: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/pythonanywhere/jdbdoclhimkcngmlcphcfgaeklpmlkap

Or at least that's the theory. Let us know how you get on?

I switched over to Firefox and everything seems fine now. Thanks for the heads up about Chrome.
