I am afraid I don't get it. I am supposed to put all the keymapping for xt5250 in ~/.Xdefaults but I have no idea what to do.
In order to define non US PC keyboard I need to define scancodes as they do in /usr/share/keymaps/us.kmap.gz.
Could someone send me a sample Xdefaults which defines scancodes and maps them to actions?
For instance, I wish to use right-ctrl( scan code 97) as ENTER and enter(scan code 28) as field exit.
Is there any sort of writeup for the format of Xdefaults?
Xdefaults has the same format as the XTerm file installed in /usr/local/share/tn5250. There is documentation on Xdefaults in general available on the XFree website, but that probably isn't what you're looking for. The part you're interested in is the Translations string (xt5250*VT100.Translations) which describes how keys relate to values passed to xterm. The tn5250-HOWTO contains info on how to make the map. From the HOWTO, in order to make enter on the 10-key pad be field exit put the following in your ~/.Xdefaults:
xt5250*VT100.Translations: #override\n\
<Key>KP_Enter: string("\033X")Also look in the appendix of the HOWTO for complete examples.
The HOWTO is located at:

If you have read it and it still doesn't make sense let me know. I've tried to make it as simple as possible, but perhaps the keymap section isn't very clear, or perhaps it could use more illustrative examples.
