You need to build from source, which goes something like this: wget ftp://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/vte/0.37/vte-0.37.2.tar.xz tar xf vte-0.37.2.tar.xz cd vte-0.37.2 patch -p1 < [the patch filename that fixes this bug] ./configure [if there are any errors, install the missing packages and re-run] make ./src/vte-2.91 --encoding=latin1 # or whichever other encoding you wish to use [and then try your application in this new window > Pretty much any sensible application should do that (regarding CSI at > least) because ... why transmit two characters (ESC [) instead of one > character (0x9B)? Pretty much all sensible applications have been using UTF-8 for almost a decade now, and in this encoding both of these escapes take up 2 bytes. And these days when you watch videos of cats online, who cares about 1 more byte? :) So far you're the only person who filed this bug against VTE, and it doesn't even work in xterm with UTF-8, which implies that the usage of C1 is extremely uncommon. > In my case the remote system is a mix of built-in programs (for example, > the editor) and custom-written programs, most of which assume that a > one-character CSI (0x9B) works. Really out of curiosity, could you please name a few of these "built-in programs (for example, the editor)" along with the system they're running on? (I don't care about the custom-written programs that much, but I do care about those that have a potential that other people also use them.) That being said, if the patch works for you, I'd be happy to apply it. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1297051 Title: gnome-terminal doesn't recognise C1 controls To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/vte3/+bug/1297051/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
