Hello I have a Debian Sarge computer and a Sid computer, On Sarge if I press the home or end keys in any buffer it simply puts a ~ into the buffer.
On the Sid computer it works as expected and calls M-x end-of-buffer or M-x beginning-of-buffer. So to eliminate the my configuration file I ran emacs -q but got the same problem. The Sarge box has no X installed, I ssh into it. On the command line, outside emacs, C-v(home) C-v(end) both produce ^[[7~^[[8~ on both computers so it seems my terminals are set up properly. The only way for me to jump to the end of a file is to use the M-x end-of-buffer command which gets annoying pretty quickly. If I fire up vim, home and end keys work (they do beginning and end of line in vim) So it seems that because Vim works and the shell C-v works it is not a problem with my setup, but emacs -q wont fix it so its not a problem with my ~/.emacs file. I guess these are reasonably safe assumptions? M-x version: Sarge: GNU Emacs 21.4.1 (i386-cc-linux-gnu, X toolkit, Xaw3d scroll bars) of 2005-03-17 on trouble, modified by Debian Sid: GNU Emacs 21.4.1 (i386-WC-linux-gnu, X toolkit, Xaw3d scroll bars) of 2005-03-17 on trouble, modified by Debian I have tried to set it directly into my ~/.emacs ;; home and end goto beginner and end of file (global-set-key [(end)] 'end-of-buffer) (global-set-key[(home)] 'beginning-of-buffer) this does not work either. Please if you have any idea how to fix this let me know! Thank you. -- -----Angelina Carlton----- orchid on irc.freenode.net [EMAIL PROTECTED] web:bzgirl.bakadigital.com -------------------------- > LocalWords: emacs Xaw goto _______________________________________________ Help-gnu-emacs mailing list Help-gnu-emacs@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-gnu-emacs
