I can't type Control-_. It just becomes a plain underscore.

(oops... Also, see workaround described on #378.)

As far as I can see, it's not a duplicate. #378 is about typing Control-X/Z/C on a Mac. And the workaround involves using Cmd.

This is about typing Control-underscore. I didn't write so, but I'm using X11 on Linux. There is no Cmd key.

As @larsbrinkhoff said, this isn't a duplicate. #203 and #378 have been fixed as of recent releases, but Ctrl-_, Ctrl-space, and Ctrl-/ (and possibly others, but certainly those two) still don't work.

If this is related to a generalized "control keys don't work" issue which hasn't been completely fixed yet, let us know so we can add to #203 instead.

Ctrl-space and Ctrl-/ not working is a problem in emacs. I am having this issue on Linux, not MacOS.

Not having Ctrl-_ prevents screen sharing (comlinks) in ITS, the Incompatible Timesharing System. ITS also has Emacs, of course, which uses Ctrl-space and many other control characters.

Can confirm the issue here, as well. Definitely a PITA when using vimwiki (which uses ctrl+space as a shortcut key for manipulating TODO items).

Confirming that CTRL-space bar doesn't work in Linux (under WSL), as of today.
This makes emacs very hard to use.

Other CTRL- commands seem to work, e.g. CTRL-c to kill a process, or CTRL-_ to undo, or CTRL-x-CTRL-c to close emacs.
I only have a problem with CTRL-space, which in emacs is used to start text selection and it's deeply ingrained into muscle memory.

I'd love to help fix this, I just don't have any experience with programs of this kind. I don't know where to begin.
Any updates would be very appreciated. I love CRT.

Thanks @gc1o1, that's good news. I need Control-_ for Emacs and ITS. Since I opened this issue, maybe I should either rename it or close it. I will update my copy and see if it works for me too.
