Hi, this time I need help.
I'm used to using xterm for all my terminal needs usually. Yesterday I tested a scenario which would call for using rxvt in non-X11 mode. All is fine, except that I'm unable to use my keyboard layout as I'm used to it. I'm working under tcsh in emacs edit mode and what I have in my .cshrc file, which works nicely for xterms and rxvt under Linux, as well as for native Windows consoles is this: bindkey '^[^[[D' backward-word bindkey '^[^[[C' forward-word bindkey '^[[3D' backward-word bindkey '^[[3C' forward-word bindkey '^[[1;3D' backward-word bindkey '^[[1;3C' forward-word This covers all combinations of ALT - Crsr Left and ALT - Crsr Right which I have to work with. So, in all terminals I can use the Alt + cursor keys to move wordwise in the command line. It just doesn't work for a Cygwin rxvt window. For some reason it does neither recognize Alt + Cursor, nor Ctrl + Cursor keys for me. I tested with od -c. I pressed <Cursor Left><Enter><Alt+Cursor Left> <Return><Ctrl+Cursor Left><Return><Ctrl-D>. The native Windows console returns $ od -c 0000000 033 [ D \n 033 033 [ D \n 033 [ d \n 0000015 which translates to <Cursor Left> = ESC [ D <Alt+Cursor Left> = ESC ESC [ D <Ctrl+Cursor Left> = ESC [ d Rxvt on Linux returns $ od -c 0000000 033 [ D \n 033 033 [ D \n 033 O d \n 0000015 which translates to <Cursor Left> = ESC [ D <Alt+Cursor Left> = ESC ESC [ D <Ctrl+Cursor Left> = ESC 0 d The same on Cygwin rxvt $ od -c 0000000 033 [ D \n \n 033 O d \n 0000011 which translates to <Cursor Left> = ESC [ D <Alt+Cursor Left> = NIL <Ctrl+Cursor Left> = ESC 0 d Is there anything I can do about that, or is this a bug in rxvt, maybe? I tried with -/+meta8 as well as with trying different -mod options, but to no avail.
