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