Termite emulates an RS-232 terminal--a simple (AKA "dumb") ASCII terminal, whereas rxvt has a more complex interface that allows sending and receiving a variety of control sequences to represent when someone has pressed a key with a modifier key (like Alt) and other control functions. Not sure why you're trying to do this, but I don't think it's going to work. RS232 terminals, IIRC, at most supported a few basic ANSI control codes for cursor movement and text formatting. > I have > > > bind index,pager \e<Up> sidebar-prev > > bind index,pager \e<Down> sidebar-next > > bind index,pager \e<Return> sidebar-open > > which in rxvt-unicode navigates the sidebar with Alt-Up, Alt-Down, > Alt-Return. In termite the sidebar-open binding still works, but neither the > Alt-Up nor the Alt-Down do.

RS232 terminals can send all of the bytes 0-255, which includes the control characters from 0-31 (ctrl-A is 1, ctrl-B is 2, etc...) so the best you're probably going to be able to do here, is identify some control characters you're not using for something else, and map those to your sidebar functions. Your options are limited though. I could be mistaken about all that though--really if there's a mailing list for termite, that's a better place to ask this question. I haven't seen anyone trying to use an RS232 terminal since I had a 9600 baud modem.... that was like 35 years ago. Even minicom supported vt100 terminal emulation over a serial line... -- Derek D.
