I have installed Cygwin/Xfree86 according to the instructions. As I live in the UK I got hold of a Xmodmap for the keymappings. I tried running
% xmodmap Xmodmap.uk where Xmodmap.uk is the mapping file from a bash prompt. I now get rather wierd behaviour. In bash windows (and in xterms running telnet to a linux box) I find that shift-3 sends #CTRL-M so that # is entered to the prompt. Also my backspace key prints a ~. CTRL-H still backspaces though. However in xedit everthing works fine. Backspace backspaces and shift-3 prints a pound sign. Any suggestions? On a similar note (and possibly related) I can't seem to work out what my Meta key in Xedit is. I've tried pressing the ESC key and sending CTRL-], CTRL-[ and CTRL-@ before the other keypress. I don't make use of anything else that needs a Meta key so I haven't tried anything else. This didn't work before I got hold of a keymapping file and it doesn't work afterwards. Any help would be very much appreciated - I only really use cygwin/xfree as an X display but it doesn't work locally either. ---------------------------------------------------------- | Kirsty Hollingworth | This space is traditionally | | <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | reserved for comments. | | | /* <!-- % ; -- // --> */ | ----------------------------------------------------------
