I wrote them.

The "konsole" Testing konsole 2.10.5 on Fedora19, I see that it does not. It matches the "konsole" entry which I wrote. That's probably the most recent copy of konsole that I can test. > entry in terminfo matches an older version of Konsole, so > programs that use terminfo to determine what to expect will be > unable to recognize the keys. Now that I'm reminded, I can retest and see if another change crept in (when I see a newer version of konsole). > Basically, since modern Konsole is trying to emulate xterm, > TERM=xterm is a closer match to the actual behavior than the old > TERM=konsole entry. Both konsole and gnome-terminal have been pretty stagnant for several years. Both have had as a goal, to "emulate xterm" for more than ten years, but have not made progress on that. -- -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist. Do not top-post!
