Subject: 30.0.50; C-M-% never worked on German keyboard
Date: Sat, 07 Jan 2023 03:07:51 +0300

Regular expression search invokation by using key binding C-M-% never worked on this German keyboard. I don't remember it ever worked.

C-h k on C-M-% read no key, there is no report, nothing, it cannot detect it.

I can use M-% without problem.

My % is obtained by using shift and is on number 5.

Does "ESC C-%" (or I guess you could spell it "ESC C-S-5") work?

As I recall, on some keyboard layouts, trying to do C-M-<foo> doesn't 
work as a keybinding, since C-M- is reserved for inputting special 
characters.

I see that "ESC C-%" works.
