For as long as I can remember the linefeed key has been f13 on the DEC
LK201 keyboards that we have on our VSII's.

Under C mode in gnuemacs that is 'newline-and-indent'

So I am very used to hitting f13 to go to the next line as I am
composing C code.  Well, it don't work no more!  Now, instead of doing
newline and indent, it goes to the previous blank line and inserts
'25~'.

It's nice to see the X people hard at work fixing emacs and X in some
ways, (making CTRL/<space> work again) and breaking it in others.
(God forbid we should avoid making gratuitious changes...)

Does anyone have a work around for this?

Does anyone else use the linefeed key?

Does anyone else write C code?
