Hi all,

Here is my first attempt to package the latest VFU utilities :

VFU :

Overview :

VFU is console (text mode) file manager for UNIX/Linux.

Download packages from extra-devel :

Activate all repositories following this tutorial : http://thenokiablog.com/2009/10/27/m...-applications/

Then, as usual, as root, install with :

Code:
-bash-2.05b# apt-get install vfu && vfu --help
Reading package lists... Done

Edit2:
Here is a nice vfu shortcut overview:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Vfu
/Edit2

Did you notice that <Enter> doesn't work in vfu? It's not a tragedy if you have lynx-like motion activated but it would be better if it worked.

I had a look at the vfu sources and it sems to me that vfu checks the ASCII code a key generates and if it's 10(d) or 13(d) the Enter routines are executed. For some reason Maemo (hildon?) does not seem to allow/create that ASCII code.
I tried your vfu package, mine and the standard Debian package via debbie. With none of them <Enter> works. But if I run vfu within a fully loaded Easy Debian on the N900 Enter works and according to xev it creates the ASCII code 0d(b) which is 13(d). I ran xev via debbie to see what happens in Maemo but here I get no reasonable output in xev on key press events at all.

Do you have any idea what's going on there?

Edit:I'm aware that the key on the N900 keyboard is <Enter> and not <Return> and that both create different keycodes. But they create the same ASCII codes according to xev on my laptops And the N900 <Enter> works fine fot vfu in Easy Debian so I'm pretty sure this is not the problem.

???

On my side I can use <ENTER> key, for example, using <ENTER> from physical keyboard on the highlighted directory, enter properly in it.

I am not sure I understand your problem ...

I can't. I have to enter directories with <right arrow>. I can't exit the options menu with <Enter> (on the physical N900 keyboard) and I can't view a file by pressing <Enter>.
In mc <Enter> works fine.

Do you happed to have busybox-power [1] installed? I don't. Edit3: I installed busybox-power but that doesn't change anything.
This is my options menu, just in case that makes a difference:
Code:
Options/Toggles (scroll down, SPACE selects) 
--screen--------------------------------------
 1 Show Mode  field                      YES
 2 Show Owner field                      YES
 3 Show Group field                        - 
 4 Show Time  field                      YES
 5 Show Size  field                      YES
 6 Show Type  field                        - 
 7      Time Type                      MODIFY
 8 Long name view                          - 
  TagMark type                            =>
  Use colors                              - 
  Use /etc/DIR_COLORS                    - 
  Lowercase extensions for configs      YES
 . Show hidden files                      YES
--navigation----------------------------------
 i Use internal viewer                    YES
 I Use internal editor                    - 
  Use menu borders                        - 
--trees/dirs-- -------------------------------
  Compact DirTree                        - 
  CDTree (cdpath)                        - 
--troubleshooting-----------------------------
  Clear screen on shell                  YES
--compatibility-------------------------------
  Lynx style navigation                  YES
  Mask auto expand                      YES
  Use CWD as target for COPY/MOVE        - 
--other---------------------------------------
 b Allow beep!                            - 
 s Free space check on copy              YES
  Auto mount on change dir              YES
  Preserve selection (after rescan)      YES
  Preserve ownership/mode on copy?      YES
  Show user's free space                YES
  Calc/Show bytes on copy                YES
  Calc/Show bytes freed on erase        YES
My vfu.conf is unchanged except for replacing joe with nano as the default editor.

Edit:
When I log into my N900 via ssh both <Enter> and <Return> on my laptop's keyboard work as expected in vfu. It's really only the N900 <Enter> that doesn't work. And even that works fine in vfu started in Easy Debian.

Edit2:
It seems like the problem lies not in vfu itself or its dependencies. I logged into another computer via ssh from my N900 which has vfu installed and there the N900 <Enter> doesn't work either. So it must have something to do with my Maemo/hildon/busybox/locale/whatever... :confused:

What does :

Code:
-bash-2.05b# echo $LANG
report on your side ?

Re: [announce] VFU ...
 
Code:
~ $ echo $LANG
de_DE
Do I see your using bash instead of busybox?

OOPS !!!

Yep I have omitted the evidence, sorry ...

Code:
-bash-2.05b# grep bash /etc/passwd | awk -F: '{print $1":blabla:blabla:blabla:"$NF}' && echo $LANG
root:blabla:blabla:blabla:/bin/bash
user:blabla:blabla:blabla:/bin/bash
fr_FR.UTF8
-bash-2.05b#

Re: [announce] VFU ...
 
I've set $LANG to de_DE.UTF8 and even to fr_FR.UTF8 (just in case...) but <Enter> in vfu still doesn't work.

Edit:
It's not the shell either. I started vfu from bash but nothing changed. I'm running out of ideas.

I don't really know what can I do more to help you.

Anyhow, at least I add my environment variables in attachment, maybe you can find something interesting ...

Re: [announce] VFU ...
 
Thanks for your efforts! But I think I've narrowed the problem to my rx-51 keyboard configuration. I changed it a bit (added < > | ) which worked fine so far but maybe there is some side effect that didn't appear up to now.
This morning I noticed that Shift+Enter works mostly* fine. I'll restore the original rx-51 file later and see if that changes anything.

*) mostly means that Shift+Enter works instantly if I haven't pressed Enter in vfu before, that I have to hold Shift and press Enter twice if I have pressed Enter alone once and that I have to hold Shift and press Enter thrice if I've pressed Enter alone two or more times before.
Please don't ask me for an explanation of this behavior! ;)
