I'm trying to figure out why emacs is capturing C-; as C-_. I checked it using log-commands but also in a completely clean configuration I can open a file and it says "No further undo information" when I press it.

I'm using an abnt2 layout keyboard. Maybe that's it? How do I fix it?

    Are you using the terminal? Different terminals are known to have some issues with certain key bindings. Try using the graphical emacs and see if the same problem occurs. – GJStein Jul 16 '15 at 13:58
  • Take a look at [this](http://emacs.stackexchange.com/questions/14000/why-doesnt-c-c-or-c-work-in-a-terminal-emulator-os-x-terminal-i?rq=1) SO answer for more details on terminal incompatibilities. Hopefully it will set you along the right path. – GJStein Jul 16 '15 at 13:59
  • Yes, are you using terminal mode (`emacs -nw`)? And do you see the problem when you start Emacs without your init file (`emacs -Q` or `emacs -Q -nw`)? – Drew Jul 16 '15 at 14:18
  • On what operating system? In what environment (graphical or terminal)? If it's a terminal, with which terminal emulator? What about other C-character combinations? – Gilles 'SO- stop being evil' Jul 16 '15 at 20:35
  • I'm using terminal Emacs through a ssh connection using Putty. Yeah, I know, weird working conditions. Turns out it's a terminal limitation. I wonder what can be done in this case? – Leandro M Barbosa Jul 20 '15 at 12:41
