Xterm's mappings are bult in. F5 and beyond are based on the VT220, since there were no equivalent keys on a real VT100. You would need to use a numeric keypad to get keys like ESC-O-w from the default mappings. You can control the keys in ~/.Xdefaults, though. See the answer to this question on Stack Overflow: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11840763/ Delete and Backspace is an issue with a long history, and can be controlled through a separate option "backarrowKeyIsErase". _______________________________________________ Simh mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.trailing-edge.com/mailman/listinfo/simh
