If you go to http://invisible-island.net/xterm/ctlseqs/ctlseqs.html and look for the sections beginning at PC-Style Function Keys section, it is a start. These are for xterm but almost all terminal emulators will do this the same way. These codes are based on what hardware that was produced in the late 1970 and early 1980 timeframe sent when you pressed their keys. ___ xorg@lists.freedesktop.org: X.Org support Archives: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg Info: http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg Your subscription address: arch...@mail-archive.com

To see some of that, look at infocmp xterm-new konsole infocmp xterm-new putty infocmp xterm-new vte (or gnome) using ncurses 5.9's terminal database of course. -- Thomas E.

Not exactly (gnome-terminal as such is a wrapper around vte, which provides all of the terminal emulation part). vte uses strings, and has a partial implementation of code to read a termcap entry and interpret the function-keys defined there. xterm doesn't use strings (except for a more-complete feature to interpret terminfo/termcap entries, likewise for the function-keys). Reading both sources might be educational. -- Thomas E.
