My issue is that Emacs 28.1 (from snap) or 27.1 (from apt) on Debian/sid Gnome 42.1 (on wayland) is not detecting the C-; keychord. Instead a bubble appear with already an e in it :

Bubble popping when I hit C-; in Emacs

It used to work, I used C-x C-; all the time to call comment-line, but it doesn't anymore. emacs -q is no help (same behavior).

I do are able to assign the C-; keychord to stuff in Gnome shortcut settings (but nothing was or is right now, I just did a test). I am also able to bind C-; to shortcuts in other programs.

I can't use C-h k C-;, the bubble is popping up when I hit C-;.

Why Emacs (and only Emacs) do this when I hit C-; ? What that thing popping up is ? How can I figure out what is going on ?

Edit (solution) :

It turns out I (or something) had enabled an IME (Input Method Editor). I was able to resolve my issue using ibus-setup and removing shortcuts in the Emoji section.

  • It sounds like this is something that your OS is doing, not Emacs. Does the same thing happen when you type C-; in other programs? – Tyler Jun 01 '22 at 13:40
  • @Tyler no, it only happens in Emacs. Also "I do are able to assign the C-; keychord to stuff in Gnome shortcut settings. I am also able to bind C-; to shortcuts in other programs." – learner Jun 01 '22 at 13:45
  • What is C-; assigned to in Gnome shortcut settings? – Tyler Jun 01 '22 at 13:54
  • Nothing is ! I just assigned something temporarily to see if It worked. It worked. C-; is therefore seen by my OS and DE. – learner Jun 01 '22 at 13:59
  • Do you see this problem if you start Emacs using emacs -Q (no init file)? If so, consider reporting it as a bug: M-x report-emacs-bug. If not, bisect your init file to find the culprit. If you still have a question after finding the culprit then pose it and delete this question, or edit this question to make it specific to what you found. – Drew Jun 01 '22 at 14:33
