OS: Xubuntu 15.10
mutt: 1.5.23
I have been running mutt on a Solaris system for years. I am now
transitioning to a Ubuntu machine. I am using the same Sun Type 6 keyboard
on moth machines, however, on the new system these are some escape
sequences issued by keys that include a semicolon which did not occur on
the Sun system. Here is an example:
Keypad 5 Key: ^[[20;2~
In the .muttrc file, these sequences cannot be unquoted so I have entries
like:
bind generic "<esc>[20;2~" select-entry
bind attach "<esc>[20;2~" view-attach
However, none of the bindings or macros that have ";" in them are defined
when mutt runs.
I have tried various alternatives in the .muttrc file such as:
<esc>[20\;2~
and
"^[[20;2~"
but nothing works. Furthermore, when I am in mutt and hit "?", the bindings
escape sequences are properly shown in the list!
I'm running mutt in an xfce4-terminal but I get the same results when I
use an xterm.
What is the trick for getting these escape sequences recognized?
