1998-05-26 Thread Anne Baretta
Hi, I wonder whether it is feasible to consistently map home/end to \e[1~ and \e[4~ in all applications? While I think this is policy-stuff, a discussion here may be useful. Inputrc and cshrc can be used to map the different possible key-sequences, but I agree with you that this is not ve

Hi, I don't think there is policy on other keys than backspace and delete. However, this is enough policy to keep us busy for the time being;-) The keyboard policy is stated in http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch3.html#s3.8 The important part is the part where it is stated

Hi, As I hate writing monologues (especially dramatic ones), I really hope to get some response this time. I know everybody is very busy, and this problem is a difficult one, I am just looking for some help and support on this issue. While I am sure you all know a lot more about Debian developme
