Thanks, that works well. Is xterm its 'own' terminal, or is it always an emulator for VT102/220? When i type ctrl-v then keypad 7/Home, or the dedicated Home key on a PC102 keyboard, i get ^[[H or ESC-[H (CSI-H). This code is not in the xterm control sequences spec: http://cns.georgetown.edu/~ric/howto/Xterm-Title/ctlseqs.txt <HOME> is the dedicated Home key, and <KP7> is the keypad 7/Home key: /etc/X11/xkb/keycodes/xfree86 <HOME>=97 /* scan codes */ <KP7> =79 These symbolic names are converted to logical names: /etc/X11/xkb/symbols/us <HOME> [ Home ] <KP7> [ KP_Home KP_7 ] ^GRP1 ^GRP2(numlock) What happens now? Are these logical names all that is sent to the xterm? Does the xterm translate them to show ^[[H on the screen? I thought terminals were supposed to take control sequences and interpret them, but xterm seems to take X-specific logical key names directly. Is there some other stage that converts the logical key names to terminal control sequences and feeds them to xterm? _______________________________________________ Xpert mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xpert
