Package: xfce4-terminal Version: 0.2.8-2 Severity: normal Similar to xterm, xfce4-terminal sends SS3 P to SS3 S for the F1 to F4 keys, but uses CSI ~ to report numbered keys F5 to F12. This is good.
F1 = SS3 P F5 = CSI 15 ~ When sending modified (e.g. Shifted, Controlled, etc...) function keys, xfce4-terminal also sends xterm-like modified CSIs for F5 to F12. Shift-F5 = CSI 15 ; 2 ~ But it mangles F1 to F4, applying the CSI arguments to the SS3 sequence, resulting in the invalid sequence Shift-F1 = SS3 1 ; 2 P To quote ECMA-35 on the subject of the Single Shift 3 function: When such a shift function occurs, the immediately following bit combination (or sequence of n bit combinations for a multiple-byte set) in the CC-data-element shall represent the corresponding character from the set that is designated as the code element G2 or G3 respectively. The shift status that was in effect immediately before the occurrence of the single-shift function shall continue in effect immediately after the bit combination (or sequence) that represents the invoked single graphic character. That is, SS3 affects the single next character only. This means that xfce4-terminal's representation of Shift-F1 really means SS3 1 ; 2 P (As normal text) I recommend that the sequences for F1 to F4 be modified either to match xterm: Shift-F1 = CSI 1 ; 2 P or to avoid the PQRS commands entirely and unify the 20 function keys as CSI functions (as is the way rxvt does it): F1 = CSI 11 ~ Shift-F1 = CSI 11 ; 2 ~ etc... -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.23-mh1.nim Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages xfce4-terminal depends on: ii libatk1.0-0 1.20.0-1 The ATK accessibility toolkit ii libc6 2.7-6 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libdbus-1-3 1.1.2-1 simple interprocess messaging syst ii libdbus-glib-1-2 0.74-1 simple interprocess messaging syst ii libexo-0.3-0 0.3.4-1 Library with extensions for Xfce ii libglib2.0-0 2.14.5-2 The GLib library of C routines ii libgtk2.0-0 2.12.5-2 The GTK+ graphical user interface ii libstartup-notification0 0.9-1 library for program launch feedbac ii libvte9 1:0.16.12-1 Terminal emulator widget for GTK+ ii libx11-6 2:1.0.3-7 X11 client-side library ii libxfce4util4 4.4.2-1 Utility functions library for Xfce Versions of packages xfce4-terminal recommends: ii dbus 1.1.2-1 simple interprocess messaging syst -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
