XTerm shortcuts problem

Hi,

I tried to add "Del", "Home", etc to the shortcut toolbar in the xterm (OS2008, N800, bash). I tried KP_Home and things like that, but either they do nothing, or just write a '~' on the screen. Under 'sudo gainroot' some work, though. I tried with and without the .bashrc file with identical results. It seems that the osso_xterm is not catching the key sequence correctly.

What am I missing?

Thanks!!
L.

Re: XTerm shortcuts problem

Did you try uninstalling bash? Maybe that's the culprit...

My .bashrc file has 231 lines. The main reason I bought the N800 is to use all the things and scripts I made over the years. I don't want to begin from scratch with yet another shell...

Thanks,

Re: XTerm shortcuts problem

It seems to have something to do with bash.

I just installed bash and it does write the tilde when I use the shortcuts at the bash prompt. When running vim the shortcuts do seem to do what they should.

Without bash the shortcuts KP_Home and KP_End work fine at the shell prompt.

Ah I see, I hope someone else can clear this up then...

There should be a way to link the key sequence to the correct sequence. Like when using loadkeys.

Thanks anyway,
L.

Bummer. Home works for user and root and bash is my default shell. I'm using the latest Diablo. These also work for user and root: End KP_Left KP_Right KP_Up KP_Down. There's nothing special about my .bashrc except some added aliases.

Oh, and here's what my root shortcut looks like:

r,o,o,t,KP_Enter

I'm using 2.05b, that is broken against most of my bash scripts. Where can I find bash 3.2?

BTW, some of the xterm shorcuts now work since I installed ncurses.

Re: XTerm shortcuts problem

bash 3.2 is in extras-devel. Haven't tried it so I can't say anything about it...
