Re: [screen-devel] screen + tcsh

[Josef Ridky]

Sure, I have already asked about this (here, in -users mail list or in bug 
report on gnu.org, just can't remember where)

There is text of bug report with removing lines issue:

--
When running vim inside screen pressing ctrl+arrow_left or ctrl+arrow_right 
simultaneously deletes several lines of text. This does not happen when running 
vim directly in xterm for example. A workaround seems to be to add "set 
term=xterm" in .vimrc, but that may have various side effects.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. # screen
2. # vim /etc/resolv.conf
3. hit ctrl + arrow_right

Actual results:
multiple lines of text get deleted

Expected results:
nothing happens

--

I am not sure, if this issue was even correctly reported to screen, or if it is 
problem of vim or anything else.

[screen-devel] screen + tcsh

[Josef Ridky]

Hi, 

I would like to ask for one thing about keybinding in screen.
Following problem is the reason, why am I asking:

---
Description of problem:
The home and end keys no longer work in screen when using tcsh as shell.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. start screen:
$ screen

2. start tcsh
$ tcsh

3. make sure home and end are bound:
$ bindkey | egrep '^(home|end)'
home   -> beginning-of-line
end-> end-of-line

4. press home or end

Actual results:
pressing "home" and "end" prints a "~".

Expected results:
cursor jumps to the beginning or end of the line.
---

I think, that this behavior is caused by using 'term=xterm' in config file.
Problem is, that this line has to be in the config file, because it solves 
other, much worse problem.

Does anyone know, how to solve this without removing term=xterm?
Thanks for your ideas.
