Package: rxvt-unicode Version: 9.11-1 Severity: normal I use rxvt-unicode-256color but i'm filling this bug against rxvt-unicode because it has the same behaviour. With the new version the combination of meta and left/right does not work anymore. In irssi alt(esc)-left/right is one of the way to change window, instead do that it prints [D and [C respectively, while [B and [A are for down and up.
Pressing the same combination does not print anything, if you use the space key several times then use alt-left and alt-right the cursor moves at the beginning and the end of line, like using C-a and C-e. On the other hand alt-down/up shows [A and [B respectively. $ cat ^[^[[D : alt-left ^[^[[C : alt-right ^[^[[B : alt-down ^[^[[A : alt-up Other combinations like alt-1 o alt-a in irssi works perfectly, same in fluxbox or other applications. $ xev KeyPress event, serial 31, synthetic NO, window 0x2000001, root 0x165, subw 0x0, time 516924392, (194,-137), root:(195,702), state 0x10, keycode 64 (keysym 0xffe9, Alt_L), same_screen YES, XLookupString gives 0 bytes: XmbLookupString gives 0 bytes: XFilterEvent returns: False KeyRelease event, serial 34, synthetic NO, window 0x2000001, root 0x165, subw 0x0, time 516924436, (194,-137), root:(195,702), state 0x18, keycode 64 (keysym 0xffe9, Alt_L), same_screen YES, XLookupString gives 0 bytes: XFilterEvent returns: False KeyPress event, serial 34, synthetic NO, window 0x1c00001, root 0x165, subw 0x0, time 517941452, (256,-181), root:(257,658), state 0x10, keycode 113 (keysym 0xff51, Left), same_screen YES, XLookupString gives 0 bytes: XmbLookupString gives 0 bytes: XFilterEvent returns: False KeyRelease event, serial 34, synthetic NO, window 0x1c00001, root 0x165, subw 0x0, time 517941545, (256,-181), root:(257,658), state 0x10, keycode 113 (keysym 0xff51, Left), same_screen YES, XLookupString gives 0 bytes: XFilterEvent returns: False KeyPress event, serial 34, synthetic NO, window 0x1c00001, root 0x165, subw 0x0, time 517942879, (256,-181), root:(257,658), state 0x10, keycode 114 (keysym 0xff53, Right), same_screen YES, XLookupString gives 0 bytes: XmbLookupString gives 0 bytes: XFilterEvent returns: False KeyRelease event, serial 34, synthetic NO, window 0x1c00001, root 0x165, subw 0x0, time 517942947, (256,-181), root:(257,658), state 0x10, keycode 114 (keysym 0xff53, Right), same_screen YES, XLookupString gives 0 bytes: XFilterEvent returns: False KeyPress event, serial 31, synthetic NO, window 0x1c00001, root 0x165, subw 0x0, time 517669777, (316,-669), root:(317,170), state 0x10, keycode 111 (keysym 0xff52, Up), same_screen YES, XLookupString gives 0 bytes: XmbLookupString gives 0 bytes: XFilterEvent returns: False KeyRelease event, serial 34, synthetic NO, window 0x1c00001, root 0x165, subw 0x0, time 517669870, (316,-669), root:(317,170), state 0x10, keycode 111 (keysym 0xff52, Up), same_screen YES, XLookupString gives 0 bytes: XFilterEvent returns: False KeyPress event, serial 31, synthetic NO, window 0x1c00001, root 0x165, subw 0x0, time 517938214, (256,-181), root:(257,658), state 0x10, keycode 116 (keysym 0xff54, Down), same_screen YES, XLookupString gives 0 bytes: XmbLookupString gives 0 bytes: XFilterEvent returns: False KeyRelease event, serial 34, synthetic NO, window 0x1c00001, root 0x165, subw 0x0, time 517938298, (256,-181), root:(257,658), state 0x10, keycode 116 (keysym 0xff54, Down), same_screen YES, XLookupString gives 0 bytes: XFilterEvent returns: False ciao skizzhg -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.38-2-amd64 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=it_IT.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=it_IT.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages rxvt-unicode depends on: ii base-passwd 3.5.22 Debian base system master password ii libc6 2.13-4 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libfontconfig1 2.8.0-2.2 generic font configuration library ii libgcc1 1:4.6.0-2 GCC support library ii libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 2.23.3-3 GDK Pixbuf library ii libglib2.0-0 2.28.6-1 The GLib library of C routines ii libperl5.12 5.12.3-6 shared Perl library ii libx11-6 2:1.4.3-1 X11 client-side library ii libxft2 2.2.0-2 FreeType-based font drawing librar ii libxrender1 1:0.9.6-1 X Rendering Extension client libra ii ncurses-base 5.9-1 basic terminal type definitions ii ncurses-term 5.9-1 additional terminal type definitio Versions of packages rxvt-unicode recommends: pn ttf-dejavu <none> (no description available) pn ttf-sazanami-gothic <none> (no description available) rxvt-unicode suggests no packages. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
