So I made cons25d entry and kb=\177 and kD=\E[3~ in cons25 in it. cons25d entry inherits cons25 and overrides kb and kD. After adding cons25d in /etc/termcap and logout and login, the changes weren't applied. After some inspection, I found out that csh is not aware of kb and kD. It was obviously from the output of "telltc" builtin of csh. I guess csh's ignorance of kb and kD caused the problem.
But xterm and genom-terminal covered for csh's ignorance of kb and kD. Can FreeBSD virtual consoles be modified to deal with kb and kD even if a shell is not aware of it? >How-To-Repeat: Ctrl-v + backspace or del would print out the key symbols(^?, ^H, and etc) >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-bugs To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
