Remember there are *many* layers of translations from the time you hit the key until it echoes on the terminal. First you have local keymaps which might be sending the wrong control sequence (e.g. Mac keyboard vs. regular PC). Then you have the character encoding of the terminal's OS, the you may have further translation in the protocol agents (ssh, telnet, etc.) then you have the remote shell's settings and encodings, etc. and many other things in between.... Take a look at this article and you will probably fix the problem, and it's probably not even on the FBSD side: www.ibb.net/~anne/keyboard.html Cheers, -- Alejandro Imass _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
