the xterm(1) manpage documents the key/event bindings, including the cool stuff like control-rightclick = font select menu. The one line about the SHIFT+INS behaviour is: Shift <KeyPress> Insert:insert-selection(PRIMARY, CUT_BUFFER0) \n\ so it's not surprising you heard about this from xterm hackers instead of seeing it yourself. Unless I knew what that line was supposed to do, I don't think I'd be able to figure it out without trying it or reading a whole bunch more docs, but reading the bindings list can give you an idea of what kind of stuff xterm has. use xkeycaps to find out what modifiers/keysyms your keys set/send. -- #define X(x,y) x##y Peter Cordes ; e-mail: X([EMAIL PROTECTED] , ns.ca) "The gods confound the man who first found out how to distinguish the hours!
