First of all, the Home key works properly now. Yay! The cursor
location display is nice, too.
But here's what I've noticed still needs to be fixed in 0.15.7.
The field-exit required field I've been testing still loses the final
character in the field when I type C-k. What's more, trying to type
Tab in the last position of that field to move to the next turns on
"X II" and I can't do anything more than C-q, even system request (C-c)
or reset (C-r).
The cursor still always appears in the first field on the display in
most places, instead of the field set by the AS/400. In 0.14.1 this
only happened within DFU.
Numeric keypad: In Debian's version of xterm, 3.3.6-3, all the numeric
keypad keys generate control codes except Num Lock. This includes the
"+" and "-" keys. However, many of them don't work. The actual codes
generated are:
---- ^[Oo ^[Oj ^[Om
^[OH ^[OA ^[[5~
^[Ok
^[OD ^[OE ^[OC
^[OF ^[OB ^[[6~
^[OM
^[[2~ ^[[3~
These don't seem to be in the 5250, linux or xterm terminfo
definitions, though xemacs manages to recognise some of them.
Backspace vs Delete: the bane of UNIX TTY handling. The Linux
console, and the tn5250 XTerm resources, make the key marked
"<-Backspace" generate "\177", ASCII DEL, which should then be termcap
capability kb. However, cursesterm.c line 211 sets \177 to K_DELETE
instead of K_BACKSPACE, so the backspace key doesn't work. If I
remove this line, then the Backspace key works again.
