From: crocket <crockabisc...@yahoo.com> To: bug-follo...@freebsd.org Cc: Subject: Re: misc/152162: On syscons, pressing delete key results in pressing backspace. Date: Fri, 12 Nov 2010 07:26:02 -0800 (PST) I made us.iso.mod.kbd in /usr/share/syscons/keymaps and set both 083(Del key on the keypad) and 103(Delete key) to fkey65 and 014 to del(ASCII DEL) in us.iso.mod.kbd. I chose fkey65 because it's the first function key not used by default on FreeBSD. After that, I added keychanges="65 \E[3~" and keymap="us.iso.mod" in /etc/rc.conf and rebooted. With """JUST""" "bindkey \E[3~ delete-char" in /etc/csh.cshrc, csh deletes characters to the right in both syscons and X11 terminal emulators. In case of bash, you would add a similar setting.(I haven't tried bash) I think 014(backspace key on the keyboard) shouldn't match ASCII BS so that applications are free to use Ctrl-H(=ASCII BS). A detailed rationale for all of those above is elaborated in http://www.ibb.net/~anne/keyboard.html It's just a quick hack to match the keyboard behaviors in syscons and X11 terminal emulators so that delete key deletes a character to the right. So I want to see two things incorporated in the next release of FreeBSD(9.0-RELEASE?) 1) fkey65 set to \E[3~ by default 2) a new keymap based on us.iso.kbd or something similar that matches 083 and 103 to fkey65 and matches 014 to del. _______________________________________________ freebsd-bugs@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-bugs To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-bugs-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
