Hello, I found an interesting option while reading "man xterm": ... dabbrev-expand() Expands the word before cursor by searching in the preceding text on the screen and in the scrollback buffer for words starting with that abbreviation. Repeating dabbrev-expand() several times in sequence searches for an alternative expansion by looking farther back...
and tried to reproduce the example from man in my .Xresources file: ... XTerm*VT100*translations: #override \n\ Meta <KeyPress> /:dabbrev-expand() \n\ Ctrl Shift <Key>C: copy-selection(CLIPBOARD) \n\ ... After "xrdb -load .Xresources" and trying to use the Meta + / in xterm it does not seem to work. And there is an error after using this key combination in ~/.xsession-errors: "Warning: Actions not found: dabbrev-expand" Should it work at all? -- Maksim Rodin
