There are a few more terminals to add to your list of Meta-key behaviors: the text consoles of the kernels supported by Debian. Linux text console: false (That is, by default Alt+w sends ^[w and not the DIVISION SIGN character, at least on my i386 system. This appears to be changeable via setmetamode(1), which uses the KDSKBMETA ioctl documented in console_ioctl(4). I did not find the smm or rmm terminfo entries for linux, nor code that would implement such escape sequences to change the meta mode. I think the default is set in #define KBD_DEFMODE in linux/drivers/char/keyboard.c (search in the file for the two occurrences of "VC_META").) I don't have a Debian GNU/kFreeBSD system to test on, nor Debian GNU/Hurd. Maybe someone else could test those for completeness? -- -=- Rjs -=- [email protected], [email protected] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
