Re: [fpc-pascal] FP IDE keyboard shortcuts don't work under Linux
In X11 I opened an xterm window, and ran the FP ide. Pressing Alt+F3 to again try and close an editor window, instead of closing it I get text inserted into the current editor window: 1;33R I also did the learn keys again while I was running FP under xterm, thinking that will help, but no luck. 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. So I don't think it's issue of Gnome Terminal not being implemented fully. MC is very good in this because it contains a lot of work arounds for all kind of terminals. 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

First switching to the linux console (not using X11). When I try and Alt+F3 to close one of the editor windows, Linux rather switches to the 3rd console. :-( In X11 I opened an xterm window, and ran the FP ide. Pressing Alt+F3 to again try and close an editor window, instead of closing it I get text inserted into the current editor window: 1;33R I also did the learn keys again while I was running FP under xterm, thinking that will help, but no luck.
