I would also be very interested in this, since I would like to add some (Old) Icelandic characters (yeah, I know, pretty exotic stuff;) ), namely

þ (þ )
Þ (Þ )
ð (ð )
ǫ (&oogon; )

Anyone with an idea about how to do this?

Never mind, I just remapped some keys on the hardware keyboard. This is a better solution for the Icelandic characters since I am then able to use them also outside xterm (just haven't figured out how to put ǫ (&oogon; ) on the keyboard since I am not sure what its name is in this context.

EDIT: I managed to get &oogon; working by adding dead_ogonek to the keyboard layout.

What are the default values for keys/key_list ?
Where is the list of possible values to go in the list (or how to figure them out) ?

I ask because I like the item that toggles select mode on/off and the only way to get it back at the mo. is to toggle full screen on and then back off again...

When I try and map these keys in the toolbar, it works properly but the "fullscreen" button gets shifted over to the left of all the new buttons. Any way to move it back to the end of the list (as qole and kwotski have in their screenshots)? Using the same commands as they are, as far as I can tell.

With so few lines in landscape mode, it would be helpful to put the key bar to one side or the other, instead of underneath. Or indeed, a whole sidebar of running apps/widgets - that would be great for those intensive text-editing Mutt using sessions :)

The toolbar appears to allow for defining up to 7 keys -- besides the mandatory default Ctrl key. If you define more than 7 keys, then 6 keys are displayed followed by a downward arrow symbol... when touched (clicked) it opens a side-menu with the additional keys you defined. But watch out, the "switch to full-screen icon disappears... it is actually the last entry in the side-menu -- BUT IT IS BLANK... but clicking on that blank space actually switches you to / from full-screen.

In an ancient version of Osso Xterm you could program multi-chat sequences. Here, I succeeded in programing keys such as "<ctrl>c" and even "<ctrl>backslash"... but apparently I couldn't program a sequence like "<ctrl>cy" to send a 'Ctrl-c' char followed by 'y'.

Because I don't see it listed here yet, I found the following worked for me:

Code:

gconftool-2 -s /apps/osso/xterm/toolbar -t bool "false"
Now, when I press the button to hide the top bar, the toolbar is also hidden, giving me a properly fullscreen terminal.

Ctrl-backspace still brings up the Expose view for app-switching.

I don't yet know a key combination to restore the top and bottom bars - so if anyone can help me out, that would be useful - doing it by script seems a bit extreme (although they come up by default on a new terminal, which seems sensible).

(Oh, and I already remapped the pgup, pgdn, etc keys to various hardware keys - the solutions for that linked elsewhere worked for me).

It would be neat to have new xterm package with configurable toolbar (keys and visibility toggle) in meamo extras repository. I am guessing that sending patches to Nokia will not lead to a new osso-xterm package in any sane time.

Not trying to hijack, but what is the best way to enter the pipe | symbol? It would be a great one to add to the toolbar.

dafrabbit 2009-12-15 15:52

Re: key bar for xterm
 
You can enter the | symbol via either the virtual keyboard or by holding the arrow+SYM key on the hardware keyboard and selecting the | character from the menu that pops up.
