Note that this follows the "output" path I mentioned in my previous mail. It does not cause the application running in the "target" xterm to receive anything, so doing cursor movement this way causes the application running in that terminal (vim, or bash, for example) to misbehave if it does not handle this correctly. > I kind of figured out that: > The scancode is converted to a symbolic code in [snip] Yep, you've got this much right. > Now i'd guess that the keyboard driver whatever that is in > XF86Config-4: > > Section "InputDevice" > ... > Driver "keyboard" > Endsection > > takes the logical key presses such as Up and converts that to > the terminal command: cuu. This is defined as cuu=\E[A in > terminfo for xterm. No, the server (which is what uses the XF86Config file) has *no* idea of the VT key sequences. The VT sequences are a fiction shared by XTerm and the tty-using application. Read the enormous man page for xterm. You can change the mappings by setting X resources. -andy _______________________________________________ Xpert mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xpert
