I played around a bit with the iso 14755 support of `urxvt' (ISO 14755
is
a standard for entering and viewing unicode characters and character
codes
using the keyboard). for me, in ksh the input method does not work (i.e.
in urxvt press and hold shift+ctrl and enter the code of the desired
letter, e.g. 03b1 for a greek alpha and then release shift/ctrl ). upon
release of the shift/ctrl keys the letter is supposed to be inserted.
for
me this works with tcsh, bash, zsh, but not with ksh. in ksh, the screen
shows a caret followed by an inverted question mark and the actual
(single) byte content of what is inserted is octal 377.
any ideas?
Technically multibyte characters should work in ksh93 (the terminal is
responsible for handling the input methods and converting those inputs
into a stream of multibyte characyters which the shells will "see" as
input) ...
thanks for responding.
I initially suspected that it's an `urxvt' issue but the insertion
procedure
works in the other mentioned shells (even when started as subshells of
`ksh'), so
my curent best guess is it has to do with `ksh' but maybe I'm overlooking
something.
... which ksh93 version do you have, e.g. what does $ ksh -c 'print
"${.sh.version}"' # print on your system and which OS+version do you
use ?
it's Version JM 93u 2011-02-08 running, both, under macosx 10.6 and ubuntu
11.04.
