Re: Alt+function keys and other keys
What I wonder is why even on the reference terminal xterm, some key escape sequences aren't even recognized, including simple enough ones such as ctrl-f1 or alt-f1. A possible way to fix all of this could be to allow raw character sequences to be assigned to commands in mc.keymap, such as PanelSortOrderByName = \eO5P though this would make it more difficult to use. The best solution would be to properly support all escape sequences. Date: Wed, 10 Mar 2010 22:37:04 +0100 From: Yury V. Zaytsev y...@shurup.com To: R.

The issue here is that xterm is considered to be the reference, and in fact in what concerns the PgUp / PgDown problem, it's a Gnome terminal bug that VTE maintainers are unwilling to fix. -- Sincerely yours, Yury V.

Re: Alt+function keys and other keys
It does, but they are not recognized. Here's an example of different alt-f1 sequences I've seen: Konsole (TERM=konsole), native keyboard (xterm XFree 4.x.x): ^[O3P xterm (TERM=xterm): ^[[1;3P urxvt (TERM=rxvt-unicode): ^[^[[11~ mlterm (TERM=mlterm): ^[[11;3~ Midnight Commander doesn't recognize any of these. I wonder what kind of terminal does it expect (shouldn't it be flexibly detected from TERM?). ~Miguel 2010/3/11 Thomas Dickey dic...@his.com On Thu, 11 Mar 2010, Miguel Pérez wrote: What I wonder is why even on the reference terminal xterm, some key escape sequences aren't even recognized, including simple enough ones such as ctrl-f1 or alt-f1.
