Indeed, you need re-learn keys depending on the console. > > I can use Midnight Commander (a linux console file manager) inside > Gnome Terminal or xterm, and all keyboard shortcuts work.

Nevertheless, the root of the problem are the lazy implementations of the terminal programs, see e.g. http://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=19259, it's output related though but the problem is the same: the terminal programs claim they can do something, but they can't. Actually, the poor behaviour of the fp ide (sluggish output, not all features supported) is one of the reasons why I never feel comfortable on linux. I tried to fix this years ago, but as long as no console program supports all required keyboard combinations and the output is still slow, this was never a success. _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
