emacs Ctrl-SPC default mark key-binding not working

[MRFaria]

Which means I can't highlight things in emacs as shift arrows don't work either.
I tried setting set-mark-command to Ctrl-x-g which fixes the problem but I would really prefer Ctrl-SPC as I am so used to it.

Another console problem.

If you don't mind running XMing, try my workaround using rxvt-unicode-256color for much better XTerm support: #531

that fixes the problem thanks, but I can't seem to be able to automatically start the console with bash.exe ~ -c "(DISPLAY=:0 urxvtdc &)",
where exactly do I put it?

I always add the below to the bottom of my ~/.bashrc

export DISPLAY=:0.0

@gantlion You need to leave at least one bash.exe console window open, or the LXsession host will shutdown the rxvt daemon. That's why I suggested running an idle copy of bash.exe on a second virtual desktop to keep it out of your face. Ideally MS or some independent dev with more Windows dev skill than I will give us something like an lxsession manager in the notification tray to allow manual shutdown mode for the lxsession host service (so you can run daemons in the background like rxvtd or sshd, which is iirc supported since they added pty support recently).

Edit: I found a solution for this with the run.exe utility, check the original post #531

This one is a bit embarrasing considering Kevin Gallo used emacs at microsoft build ;)
I'd also note that Ctrl-@ doesnt work either for me.

Is there a combination of flags that can be enabled on the conhost properties to allow ctrl-space to work, because the 'Quick Edit Mode' and 'Enable Ctrl key shortcuts' options aren't explained.

It looks like there are some recent changes in kernel-land that actually re-enable C-Spc, C-@, C-a, etc, so shout out to bperkins for that fix!
