Re: key bar for xterm

@les_garten: Page_Up and Page_Down works fine for me on the bar, always has. Have you tested them with some text editor or irssi, for example?

Modify the lines below according to your needs:

Code:

gconftool-2 --set -t list --list-type string \

    /apps/osso/xterm/key_labels "[Tab,Esc,Dn,Up,CR]"



gconftool-2 --set -t list --list-type string \

    /apps/osso/xterm/keys "[Tab,Escape,Down,Up,KP_Enter]"

Bless you my Son!

What, wait, "Dn" and "Up" are Page Down and Page Up?

Works perfect for me. I was looking for Up arrow and Down arrow and that's what I got! :D

les_garten: You did NOT say you wanted up and down. You said you wanted PAGE up and PAGE down...

Re: key bar for xterm

Would it be possible to get cut and paste on to the bar?

This is functions that I use quite frequently so minimizing the amount of steps would be most helpful.

Well on all my Keyboards that say Page Up or Page Down, the command hx is scrolled through.

He did say he wanted Page Up and Page Down, but he also said:

I would LOVE that, especially if I could have the bar only appear if I do something with the touch display, perhaps have it scroll or fade in. I don't want a WINCH signal generated and a change in tty state for the window.

At the moment, I've just got Ctrl to be sticky (will post about that elsewhere), and mapped Fn Up/Down to do PgUp/PgDn so with Ctrl-I for tab and ESC not being that necessary (^C works in vi/vim). I now sort of no longer need the bottom bar. I tended to hide away the top bar too and should be able to get a useful fullscreen. The problem is that c+p is useful, I also tend to like to get a new terminal from time to time, and maybe pull out the status menu to switch 2G/3G, volume, BT etc.

I'd just about got s2putty on the n97 working perfectly for my needs, with good gesture support to enhance the available keys (I mapped centre button of the directional pad on the left to sticky Ctrl), I got very used to swipe up as Tab in my email client for example.

I've now started to get in to the n900 but I've gone downhill as far as experience for a terminal is concerned.

Help me also. I need sticky Alt button added to toolbar (like the control key).

EDIT: I managed to add Alt this way but how to make the Alt button sticky like the Ctrl?

Code:

gconftool-2 -s /apps/osso/xterm/key_labels -t list --list-type=string "[Tab,Esc,PgUp,PgDn,Alt]"



gconftool-2 -s /apps/osso/xterm/keys -t list --list-type=string "[Tab,Escape,Page_Up,Page_Down,Alt]"

Maybe keycode 56 = Alt_Lock or keycode 100 = SAlt works..

EDIT2: doesn't work like the sticky hardcoded? Ctrl
