It looks like I picked the wrong Capnames off the terminfo(5) man page for these last night. Should be kich1 instead of kil1, and kdch insted of kdel1. The linux console seems to have these defs: kf11=\E[23~, kf12=\E[24~, kf13=\E[25~, kf14=\E[26~, kf15=\E[28~, kf16=\E[29~, kf17=\E[31~, kf18=\E[32~, kf19=\E[33~, kf20=\E[34~, kich1=\E[2~, kdch1=\E[3, I identified these by using "cat -v" I've tried the same thing in an xterm, and get seemingly strange sequences from the HOME and END keys. One other thing I notice about an xterm is that the NumLock key seems to have no effect. I'm not very familiar with X11, and I may be doing something to cause this. More likely, though, I'm failing to do something and seeing unexpected default behavior which I'll be able to change if I figure out how to do that. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Acknowledgement sent to Bill Mitchell : Extra info received and forwarded.

I've looked at the terminfo source in an earlier version (1.8.7) which I happen to have available, and find keydefs apparently missing from data/linux. The apparent missing defs I noticed are for kf20-kf29 (Shifted F1-F10, or f11-f20), kil1 (insert key) and kdel1 (delete key). I haven't checked files other than data/linux. At a minimum, data/linux and data/xterm should be defined to the keys available on the usual PK keyboards, I'd expect. It's very possible that I'm missing something here but, in my ignorance, that's what it looks like to me. mitchell@mdd.comm.mot.com (Bill Mitchell) ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Acknowledgement sent to Bill Mitchell : New bug report received and forwarded.
