[Bug 96676] Re: function keys don't work in gnome-terminal

[NevemTeve]

The problem doesn't seem to solve itself; I'd suggest using xterm, rxvt
or konsole.

[Bug 96676] Re: function keys don't work in gnome-terminal

[NevemTeve]

My last suggestion (unconditionally change environment TERM from 'xterm'
to 'xterm-vte') is a bit rude. How could I do it more nicely? If it were
rxvt or xterm, it would be the simplest:

cat  ~/.Xdefaults:
XTerm.termName=xterm-vte
Rxvt.termName=xterm-vte

xrdb ~/.Xdefaults

But alas, gnome-terminal seems to not use resources, it has an own XML-
based configuration system.

Once upon a time I back-tracked the problem, and it was somewhere really
deep in

gnome/widgets/vte/src/keymap.c:_vte_keymap_key_add_key_modifiers -- it
has an algorithm to hack function-key-codes, when SHIFT pressed, eg:

F1 = ESC O P
Shift+F1 = ESC [ O 1 ; 2 P

should be= ESC O 2 P (Shift + F11 = F13 -- (why not F11? dunno.))

It should be completely rewritten (nobody volunteered yet?), or a new
terminal-type should be defined which is compatible with these
sequences.

It could be something like this: http://web.axelero.hu/lzsiga/xterm-
vte.sh

then in /usr/share/mc/mc.lib:

[terminal:xterm-vte]
copy=xterm
f11=\eO1;2P
f12=\eO1;2Q
f13=\eO1;2R
f14=\eO1;2S

and finally:
somewhere in .bashrc or else:

if [ x$TERM = xxterm ]; then export TERM=xterm-vte; fi

A little addition: in my debian lenny Shift+F1 produces:

on tty: terminal=linux SF1=ESC[23~ infocmp=kf11 (my own setting)
on rxvt: terminal=rxvt SF1=ESC[23~ infocmp=kf11 (very good (for mc, at least))
on xterm: terminal=xterm SF1=ESC[1;2P infocmp=no such sequence!!!
on gnome-terminal: terminal=xterm SF1=ESC01;2P infocmp=no such sequence!!!
on gnome-terminal: terminal=xterm-vte SF1=ESC01;2P infocmp=kf13 (acceptable, if 
not intuitive)
