Hi, I was setting some key bindings in emacs and it puzzled me that some of those bindings worked in emacs-x but not in emacs-nox.
Then I fired up emacs in a tty, in an X terminal emulator and also a graphical frame and quoted-insert several key combinations that seem problematic. This is the result | | del | backspace | C-backspace | C-M-space | |-----------+-------+-----------+-------------+------------------| | linux tty | ^[[3~ | ^? | ^H | ^[ | | xfce term | ^[[3~ | ^? | ^? | ^[ (^[ + space) | | gtk emacs | ^D | ^? | | \200 | (I wasn't able to quote-insert C-backspace in gtk emacs, it simply killed the word before the point.) By looking at the table above it can be seen that the xfce terminal emulator generates a wrong escape sequence when C-backspace is pressed, which is the same sequence as backspace. (This explains why this binding didn't work when emacs was running in a terminal emulator.) The C-M-space sequence is also suspect because it doesn't match that of the linux tty. Is this a bug in the terminal emulator or a X.org thing? I don't know. Also, it appears that gtk emacs sometimes gets completely different escape sequences, this I don't understand either. Any comment on this issue will be appreciated. Cheers, Ernest -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
