Does 9.0 honor TERM settings?
It appears to me it does not. Although I set TERM=cons25l1 in .profile
(running bash) and have verified that it is set to that value with SET,
it appears to me that the function keys are mapped to weird xterm-like
strings instead of their ANSI values (example: F7 = E[18~ not E[S).
The TERM environment variable is supposed to describe the
terminal not control it.
Well, then, where is the setting that makes the F7 key send E[18~ instead
of the standard E[S?
In the kernel config there's an option TEKEN_CONS25 which will build
the console terminal emulator in CONS25 mode. You'll need a custom kernel
of course.
I find it really interesting that this change which broke just about every
critical application I run was not mentioned in the release notes or
UPDATING.
I'm curious though - why ? As long as TERM is set correctly
anything that uses curses will handle the keyboard and screen correctly.
If 9.0 had not broken my most important applications, I wouldn't be asking.
