cokebottle
/kohk'bot-l/ Any very unusual character, particularly one you
can't type because it isn't on your keyboard. {MIT} people
used to complain about the "control-meta-cokebottle" commands
at {SAIL}, and {SAIL} people complained about the
"{altmode}-altmode-cokebottle" commands at {MIT}. After the
demise of the {space-cadet keyboard}, "cokebottle" faded away
as serious usage, but was often invoked humorously to describe
an (unspecified) weird or non-intuitive keystroke command. It
may be due for a second inning, however. The {OSF}/{Motif}
{window manager}, "{mwm}", has a reserved keystroke for
switching to the default set of keybindings and behaviour.
This keystroke is (believe it or not) "control-meta-bang" (see
{bang}). Since the exclamation point looks a lot like an
upside down Coke bottle, {Motif} hackers have begun referring
to this keystroke as "cokebottle".
See also {quadruple bucky}.
