diff README.multi-tty @ 83325:9e41c80c6389

Work around nondeterministic binding of terminal-local variables. (Fixes national character input on ttys.) * src/data.c (Fterminal_local_value, Fset_terminal_local_value): New functions. (syms_of_data): Defsubr them. * lisp/international/encoded-kb.el (encoded-kbd-setup-keymap): Add keymap parameter. Use it instead of changing key-translation-map directly. (encoded-kbd-setup-display): Use terminal-local-value and set-terminal-local-value to access key-translation-map. Remove debugging messages. * lisp/international/mule.el (keyboard-coding-system): Test for encoded-kbd-setup-display, not encoded-kbd-mode. * src/keyboard.c (syms_of_keyboard): Expand docs of terminal-local variables to warn about their random bindings. git-archimport-id: [e-mail]--2004/emacs--multi-tty--0--patch-365
