I have cygwin installed, and the cursor keys "don't work" in an xterm. By
"don't work" I mean that they don't generate any bytes.
To test this, I have a program that echoes keystroke data to the screen, so
for instance, it shows that [End] will generate "<esc>[F", F1 generates
"<esc>OP", etc. All is good there.
The Up, Down, Left, and Right keys, however, generate nothing at all - as
though they were never pressed. This is true of the Keypad cursor keys
(which are the ones that I REALLY want to work), and for the inverted-T
cursor keys, which I don't care about).
xmodmap -px shows that the keys in question are defined as follows:
97 0xff50 (Home)
98 0xff52 (Up)
99 0xff55 (Prior)
100 0xff51 (Left)
101
102 0xff53 (Right)
103 0xff57 (End)
104 0xff54 (Down)
I can't figure out, though, where to define the escape sequences generated
by these keys.
Can anyone help me figure out how to define these keys?
Even a pointer to some documentation to how the X keyboard system works
would do.
A) I can't figure out how to determine what
keycodes are generated by a given key on
the keyboard
- is there a utility to do this?
B) I can't figure how how to get from knowing
a key's keycode, to producing an escape
sequence when it's pressed.
Help is appreciated!
