Ya know, someone needs to come up with a "fat keyboard" for those of us with "fat fingers." <smile>

I can open another session - which I often do - and continue on with my tasks. I was just hoping that there was a keystroke that I could use to reset the default value to the insert key. I try to be careful but sometimes my fat finger will co-hit the backspace and insert key and then the fun begins again. -----Original Message----- From: u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org [mailto:u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org] On Behalf Of Woodward, Bob Sent: Friday, December 07, 2012 3:01 PM To: U2 Users List Subject: Re: [U2] SB Client question I would not expect changing terminal type to fix the problem once you've got the problem. Do you have some specific coding or other requirements for the Wyse60? Does the same thing happen if you start a clean session using Wyse50 or Wyse120? I know I'm not helping discover what to do to fix your problem but without a bunch of time and the ability to duplicate the problem the best I can really help with is to try and avoid the problem in the first place. -----Original Message----- From: u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org [mailto:u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org] On Behalf Of Lunt, Bruce Sent: Friday, December 07, 2012 2:50 PM To: U2 Users List Subject: Re: [U2] SB Client question The terminal emulation is Wyse60. I don't use the insert key when at TCL because I just enter 'I' at the command prompt when I am in the editor and there is never a reason for insert key to be pressed otherwise. I am not sure how to reassign the key but I don't think that I want to do that because I do use the insert key when I am in the full-screen editor or SB+ screen. I went to the Setup tab and changed the terminal type to VT220 and the editor worked like it should but when I changed it back to Wyse60 it had the same old problem. -----Original Message----- From: u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org [mailto:u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org] On Behalf Of Woodward, Bob Sent: Friday, December 07, 2012 2:40 PM To: U2 Users List Subject: Re: [U2] SB Client question I've never had this problem but I'd look at the terminal emulation you're using. You might try using a different terminal type then see if you can replicate the problem. I would imagine you don't use the insert key since it seems to mess you up (only at TCL???) so maybe redefine just that key? Good luck.

Well, after I do this my backspace will no longer work. What I see on the screen when I enter the backspace key is the letters to the left are displayed to the right of the cursor preceded by a space. I can enter the replacement character(s) and they will work but when I look at the line to check it the line will always have: '*--:' appended to the end of the line. It does not matter what I do after this to try to get back to what was working before. (I do plenty of backspacing so this is not a small problem.) The only thing that works is to logoff and then log back on. This will reset the editor to work correctly again. I have tried hitting the 'Insert' key again, thinking that it would switch back to the original mode, to no avail. Has this happened to anyone else? Or am I the only lucky one with this problem? If it has happened to you, do you have another fix besides logging off the system?
