I've been having a problem using rxvt where shift-f1 and shift-f2 end up with the same scan codes as f11 and f12. tn5250 to an iSeries really requires the full set of function and shifted function keys.
Did a bunch of searching and playing around with termcap and ilk. Also found this but really not much luck otherwise. http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2003-06/msg00394.html I ended up making this change to my local rxvt version 2.7.10-4: Though I didn't correctly build a non X windows version yet, it works for me. I'm really a rookie with terminal stuff. and I'm guessing there's some historical reason why it might have only processed up to shift-F10 instead of shift-F12. Anyone have any insights? --- command.original.c 2004-12-02 14:54:03.802104200 -0600 +++ command.c 2004-12-02 14:54:28.477585800 -0600 @@ -179,9 +179,9 @@ } if (shft) { - /* Shift + F1 - F10 generates F11 - F20 */ - if (keysym >= XK_F1 && keysym <= XK_F10) { - keysym += (XK_F11 - XK_F1); + /* Shift + F1 - F12 generates F113- F24 */ + if (keysym >= XK_F1 && keysym <= XK_F12) { + keysym += (XK_F13 - XK_F1); shft = 0; /* turn off Shift */ } else if (!ctrl && !meta && (r->h->PrivateModes & PrivMode_ShiftKeys)) { switch (keysym) { "The stuff we call "software" is not like anything that human society is used to thinking about.
