Hi - searching in the archives seems broken, but I was reading through manually and came across this post: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/screen-users/2005-10/msg00013.html The Shift-F6 key combination is used in mc to quickly rename a file or directory. Unfortunately it does not work when using screen. Any hints on how to enable it? Thanks I didn't see any followups. I'm experiencing the same thing and did some more digging and found: http://www.ibiblio.org/mc/FAQ 2.3 How do I use function keys F11 to F20? These are normally mapped to function keys F1 to F10 with Shift held, e.g. function key F13 can be activated by pressing Shift-F3. You can define the keys this way in the Options->Learn Keys dialog. The convention for PC keyboards is that F11-20 always means Shift with F1-10. You may find that on the Linux console with some keyboard layouts Shift-Fn is interpreted as F(n+12), not as F(n+10). This is a result of non-uniformity of keyboard layouts. This is not an intended behavior and it may be fixed some day. In the meantime, use "Learn Keys" to remedy this inconvenience. This fits the bill, as Shift-F6 does actually work, but only as Shift-F4. However, the suggested workaround, it seems to me, would break mc in every other context (bare console, plain xterm, etc.) where it does work properly. IOW, the MC FAQ seems to be describing a case where it's generally broken and gives a general fix. But this (though identical) seems specific to screen. Anybody else experienced this or know of a more targeted fix? Related to this, in that it's screen/mc: I enabled 'defzombie dr' in my .screenrc and mc did a chesire cat. Everything but the single char of the progress-indicator spinner disappeared and, while I could easily switch to another window in screen, the mc window itself was completely unresponsive. Had to C-a\. The problem didn't go away with resizing screen (running in an xterm) or re-disabling defzombie or with restarting screen and I couldn't find any lingering temp files or named pipes but it *did* go away when I restarted X and then screen and mc. Very strange. Just wondering if anyone else had experienced this and whether it indicated anything else - whether I'm likely to run into it again or if certain options are 'dangerous'. Thanks. _______________________________________________ screen-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/screen-users
