Let's go further - Debian has it's policy, but _they didn't change [*] xterm-color terminfo_, so remotely it's broken (blues, what were you talking about problems with Debian/Ubuntu? ;>). Instead they created xterm-debian, but it's not known on other systems (hurray for idiots). http://log.antiflux.org/grant/2004/03/29/backspace-delete http://www.qsl.net/n0nb/linux/debiantips.html http://www.ibb.net/~anne/keyboard.html They all (just like Debian, Cox, Torvalds) suggest using '^?'. It's good idea but only if we change kbs in terminfo (well, kdch1 is changed anyway, khome and kend added, what a fucking mess...), otherwise any terminfo bindings (ncurses) will fail. Unfortunatelly we cannot do this. > 2. what about that bloody stty propagation? I'll stick with that anyway. It guarantees, that every application using termios will work. So here comes the most important question: we adapt to Debian (supported by authorities) or xterm's specification? In case of khome/kend we had chosen (well, kde-konsole has forced us) to follow xterm against Debian. I'm still waiting for test cases what was wrong with my fix! [*] let me guess, for interoperability with other systems... s p o i l e r PS. someone has said, that with my fix screen doesn't work properly, yeah? $ tail -n3 /etc/screenrc # On Debian GNU/Linux, `<--' (Backspace key) should send char `\177': bindkey -k kb stuff "\177" So if there won't be any serious discussion and detailed scenarios I'm going to restore my fix and you will have to fix YOUR BROKEN programs. -- GoTaR <priv0.onet.pl->gotar> http://vfmg.sourceforge.net/ http://tccs.sourceforge.net/ _______________________________________________ pld-devel-en mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pld-linux.org/mailman/listinfo/pld-devel-en
