Hi,
In an xterm, i could press alt-o to get both panels the same.
Now after a few X windows upgrades, alt-o gives an "I" with
two dots above it (0xEF, LATIN SMALL LETTER I WITH DIAERESIS)
UTF-8 locale i guess. On the linux console it gives ESC-o (0x1b6f)
How can i get mc to work in a utf-8 X setup?
man xterm (see eightBitInput, metaSendsEscape, altSendsEscape)
In /etc/X11/app-defaults/XTerm, i put:
*eightBitInput: false
and it works now.
Thanks:)
I am glad it works. Now, an interesting question might be what happens now
if you type something like Alt-o at the command line, in a bare xterm
which does not have mc running in it. On my system, I can still get the
funny characters that way. Can you?
I am merely curious. I do not use the funny character mappings for
anything, myself. But I can imagine that someone might want to use those
sometimes and use mc on other occasions. Thus, I find myself wondering
whether
*eightBitInput: false
would turn that off completely, or not.
