/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/Motifwindow 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. [Jargon File] (1995-01-04)
