Hi,
due to a change for bugzilla #262330 I've changes the application
defaults for XTerm to use both altIsNotMeta and altSendsEscape
with `true' and removed the former simple mapping with ESC also
known as Meta in front of the next key:
Alt Cursor-Left from `ESC ESC O D' (application mode)
Alt Cursor-Left from `ESC ESC [ D' (command line mode)
to
ESC [ 1 ; 3 D (both application and command line mode)
which is the original key binding of the current xterm.
Please note that /etc/inputrc and /etc/profile.d/bindings.tcsh
are changed accordingly. Most applications using (n)curses
will switch into application mode (which is both enabling
Application Keypad and Application Cursor Keys) will
automatically use the correct terminfo entries for that.
Other applications not using ncurses should be aware of the
changes and be changed accordingly. For the mappings please
refer to the snooper.tar.bz2 within the xterm sources of
factory. Therein I've listed the mappings for xterm, urxvt,
kterm, mlterm, konsole, and gnome-terminal done with the
snooper utility.
Remark: the change was necessary fort using the Meta
functionality of the XTerm which is simply disabling using
ESCape before any key or sending alternated escape sequences
but setting the high bit of the typed character. This
is useful for various umlauts. See the Ctrl-Button1 menu
in XTerm by pressing Ctrl-Mouse1, try out enabling or
disabling `Alt Sends Escape' and then type e.g. Alt-A.
