I haven't had these problems with Terminal.app, but then again I've been running /bin/bash instead of the default tcsh. Look in Terminal|Preferences|Execute this comand
The home/etc keys are not mapped, so you could use the emacs-standard keys for command line editing - ^a (bol), ^e (eol) and so on. Tab completes on filenames works fine. If you need multiple sessions under keyboard control, either use the command~ mentioned on another posting, or install and run screen. However, Terminal.app has some seriously odd problem - system busy delays up to a couple of seconds when hitting return, regardless of application being run. I switched to Eterm, blackbox window manager and X windows. If you really want to be keyboard driven, look at the ion window manager. -jim On Fri, Feb 28, 2003 at 12:13:59AM -0500, Sam Roberts wrote: > I don't know if this is the right forum, but I really want to make this > work, and I don't know where else to ask, and it involves getting the > fink-installed tools working for me, so... > > Summary: I need to be able to run my s/w devel environment from inside Terminal. > > I'm getting killed by things like: > > I can't get home/end/pageup/pagedown passed to the shell or curses > applications. > > If I do a ":sp start-of-file-name" and type TAB to do file name completion, I get ^I > displayed. > > If I do a ":sp" I get two windows, but ^w^w should switch between them, > and it silently does nothing. > > ^u at a command line prompt does nothing. > > > I have tried iTerm.
