Well thanks that seems to be my problem but I did not manage to solve it 
this way.
I have to admit this terminfo thing is a bit obscure to me...
I followed the guide but in my xterm(-color) I still get no input from 
the keys when grabbing it with read... strange

[osol-discuss] HOME and END keys not active in term ?

2008-08-03 Thread Bruno Damour
Hello,
I have a small annoying problem with gnome-terminal (and others btw)
under sxce b94
I want to map HOME, END and DELETE keys to do what I want, ie like ^a,
^e, and delete current char.
I managed to get what I wanted with the delete key adding a line in my
.bashrc that says :
bind '"\e[3~":delete-char'
But HOME and END key (supposed to work with) :
bind '"\e[1~":beginning-of-line'
bind '"\e[4~":end-of-line'
Furthermore, trying to catch the keycodes with read fails, it's like the
key would not even send anything ? (it gives the expected result with
DELETE though)
And, no, it's not my keyboard, the keys work correctly in some other
apps, let's say firefox for example or gedit !
Any clue would be appreciated, I'm tired of googling for this !

Otherwise I guess I will have to use ^a and ^e agin, but it seems wrong
that HOME and END keys should be useless in term...

TIA
Bruno
