Keys in EE for Linux
Up until two minutes ago my escape key did not work in EE. I just patched
keys.e (in Irv's Linux EE obviously).
Linux return alt characters as 27 followed by the character.
If you press escape the following character is -1 apparently, meaning that
when you add 1000 (like Irv does) you get 999.
By changing keys.e line 93 from
93: ESC = 1027 -- was 1000
to
93: ESC = 999 --was 1027 -- was 1000
escape works fine. This means I can get rid of menus and dialogs without
having to choose something which is nice. Do other people have the same
prob ? I'm using Debian 2.0
The second problem is shift characters. Unfortunately get_key() returns
the same value for some of these (like tab and arrow keys) as unshifted
characters. This means that I cannot select text, I have to use backspace
to delete multiple lines and I cannot backtab on dialogs.
Can anybody suggestion a solution/workaround or at least a reason for
these ?
