Re: osso_xterm toolbar shortcut
 

The periods are acting as operators to concatenate an expression of character literals in order to convince the toolbar settings dialog into accepting a longer string (the word "period" in the last example is used to get an actual "." keystroke returned by the shortcut).

So the dots (".") are glue between each individual element like a letter or character. Does that explain it?

Re: osso_xterm toolbar shortcut
 

Anyone know if you can bind modifiers as well? Like ^K, and such.

Re: osso_xterm toolbar shortcut
 

This is an old post, and I just stumbled on it while searching for something else, but ^K is "<ctrl>k" in the Toolbar Shortcut maker. KP_Enter can be also entered as <ctrl>m ... it is one character shorter! :D

<ctrl>c is very useful, it breaks execution of a command-line app.

A very useful shortcut for me is:
It is useful because lots of command-line apps bug you by asking you to hit "Y" if you are sure you want to do something, and it is nice to just hit a toolbar button instead of pulling up the screen keyboard or whatever.

EDIT: A couple other useful ones: | (pipe) is "bar" and _ is "underscore". Both are a pain to type (at least for me) on the virtual keyboard.

EDIT2: Note that you don't need the " . " (space-period-space) between characters, just use a comma.

Re: osso_xterm toolbar shortcut
 

Thanks so much!

(I find ^K helpful for JOE; I bound around it using F2, but that doesn't help when I telnet out to other machines... ^C, of course, is obviously good, but ^Z is better; you can always stop the job after suspending it.)

Wiki updated!

Re: osso_xterm toolbar shortcut
 

Ok, late to the party, but:

1) how to do "Delete" "Home" (BOL) and "End" (EOL)? I tried lots of combinations...

2) I use bash 2.05b, and PgUp and PgDn do not work for me (they write a '~').

Thanks!

Re: osso_xterm toolbar shortcut
 

You can also simply use a single space instead...

Re: osso_xterm toolbar shortcut
 

These should work:
KP_Delete
KP_Home
KP_End

Don't know why PgUp and PgDn don't work for you but you could try
KP_Prior or KP_Page_Up
KP_Next or KP_Page_Down
