Well, we're late a bit... Between the e-mail messages I've rebooted my machine, plus played a bit with "Learn keys" dialog. So, now I see that the problem is somehow disappeared. Presently, the output of dd command is the same for root and normal user: --- cut --- ^[Ol ^[OS ^[OR l S R 0+3 records in 0+1 records out --- cut --- If I'll encounter the same problem again, I'll immediately capture an output of the dd command. By the way, could you explain what does this "echo -ne '\e[?1h\e='" mean? mc stops understanding of arrow keys after the command. > Note that you can always use Alt with the key to force the group > operation. Sorry, With what key? And what is "group operation"? May be I'm asking a silly questions, then just point me to documentation. Quick search in Google has not showed me any meaningful results. P.S. Just found how to reproduce the described problem: mc, Ctrl-O, mc, F9, 'Options->Learn keys', keypad's +-*. May be this was the source of my issue. I should be more accurate before rporting bugs. The type of user account is of no importance here, and may be this not a bug. Anyway, it looks confusing when second (inner) mc reacts on keypad's +-* as usual, but can't learn the keys via "Learn keys" dialog. ...Bye..Dmitry. _______________________________________________ Mc-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/mc-devel
