https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=262330 ------- Comment #7 from werner@novell.com 2007-05-14 03:10 MST ------- The ESC simply provides the ALT within emacs command line mode of bash and tcsh. Compare this with /etc/inputrc and /etc/profile.d/bindkey.tcsh .. if you change this you have to provide for all new sequences the correpsonding binding in /etc/inputrc and /etc/profile.d/bindkey.tcsh has to be expanded. As long as ncurses terminfo does not provide the key bindings for the comamndline mode which is definitly not the same as in application mode, the only way to get a correct, non-beeping, and working key binding for the shells like bash, zsh, ksh and tcsh I do not see a better way. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=262330 ------- Comment #9 from werner@novell.com 2007-05-14 04:04 MST ------- For the described problem this is correct, nevertheless I consits on the full key binding of xterm/konsole/rxvt/urxvt/gnome for Alt, Shift, Ctrl, Alt+Shift, Ctrl+Shift, Alt+Ctrl, Alt+Ctrl+Shift. Then I'll able to extend the /etc/inputrc and /etc/profile.d/bindkey.tcsh to make the command line system wide usable as it is now for more then 10 years. The best way for such an effort would a script using xsendkeycode or similar to be able with the help of Xfvb and the terminal emulator running this script to generate the command line key binding. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

How can I extend the program to send the events detected to an xterm and read the responce from the tty? I'd like to have something like xterm -e getcodes -o log that means that getcodes may use getppid() to get the pid of the xterm and try to send the X client using this pid the key events and after every key event wait on the responce which can be read from the current tty. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Using a title with some uniq string may actually do the trick. I'm just not sure if all the terminals you want to try actually have a way to do this. Maybe I should modify the program so that you can supply the name of the terminal and the argument to use to set the title on the command line. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=262330#c21 --- Comment #21 from Egbert Eich 2007-07-08 03:24:16 MST --- This program will run the terminal of choice itself, so you need to supply it with the argument to specify a title and the argument to specify the shell to run. Futhermore you can specify a list of keycodes you want to be pressed. Keycodes semm to make more sense here as they are the most basic representation of the keyboard without any translation to keysyms. Most keyboards should generate the same keycode for the same key. The key - together with some modifiers pressed - should determine the action of a terminal. So you want to know codes the terminal sends to the shell when a key is pressed ( a keycode is sent) together with a number of keys which are used for modifiers. so the command line to run xterm and send the keycodes 38, 39 and 40 ('a','s','d') is: testterm xterm -T -e "38 39 40" The output is logged in /tmp/output, each sequence is delimited by '\n' (0x0d). -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I run onto one problem: if e.g. Meta_L is mapped onto Sift+Alt_L and included in the modifier maps, the state found in ev.xkey.state is identical for Alt_L and Meta_L and leads to loosing Control_L within setup_modifiers() ... Werner, if Meta_L and Alt_L are mapped to the same modifier they should trigger

If however Meta_L is triggered by Shift+Alt_L it should produce an 'or' of the shift modifier bit and the modifier bit set by Meta_L. This is how it works here at least. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
