Hello, I'm having some trouble using kbdcontrol to redefine function keys to strings that include escape sequences. For example, suppose I want to redefine "F1" to be equivalent to pressing the left arrow key twice in a row. I naiively thought this would work:
kbdcontrol -f 1 "\033[D\033[D" However, that just causes the literal string "\033[D\033[D" to be printed verbatim when I press F1. I tried a few variations on this theme but was unsuccessful. I know the architecture allows what I want because I was able to change the source code to kbdcontrol to set the default values of the function keys (in the fkey_table[][] array) to be what I want: /* 01-04 */ "\033[D\033[D","\033[N","\033[O","\033[P", and then cause the values to be defined by running: kbdcontrol -F Clearly, though, that "solution" has no legs. I know (think?) there's got to be a way to do this using the standard kbdcontrol utility, and I'm probably just not escaping my escape sequences properly on the command line, but I'm just not grokking it. - Danny MacMillan _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
