| Environment: Mutt: Version 1.4.2.1i OS: Solaris 9 Hardware: Sun V250 with the Type-6 Keyboard Problem: I am having a key binding problem on this system that I did not experience on my previous SPARCstation-20 with a Type-5 keyboard running Solaris 8. I have bindings like the following defined: bind generic <Esc>[313z previous-entry # Keypad 0 Key bind generic <Esc>[314z previous-entry # Keypad 1 Key bind generic <Esc>[315z bottom-page # Keypad 2 Key bind generic <Esc>[316z next-entry # Keypad 3 Key bind generic <Esc>[317z previous-entry # Keypad 4 Key bind generic <Esc>[319z next-entry # Keypad 6 Key bind generic <Esc>[320z previous-page # Keypad 7 Key bind generic <Esc>[321z top-page # Keypad 8 Key bind generic <Esc>[322z next-page # Keypad 9 Key I am running mutt(1) in an xterm(1) window and these are the correct escape sequences for these keys as defined in a customized terminfo entry. This has been validated by editing a message and seeing that all the proper escape sequences are being emitted. I have similar keypad mappings in my vi(1)/vim(1) startup file and there, every key works without a hitch. These mutt bindings worked just fine on the older system, but on the new machine all the bindings work except for keypad keys 1, 3, 7 and 9. When these keys are pressed, mutt reports: Key is not bound. Press '?' for help However, when I press '?', I see the following: Generic bindings: [...] <Esc>[314z previous-entry move to the previous entry [...] <Esc>[316z next-entry move to the next entry [...] <Esc>[320z previous-page move to the previous page [...] <Esc>[322z next-page move to the next page [...] <Home> first-entry move to the first entry <PageDown> next-page move to the next page <PageUp> previous-page move to the previous page <Enter> select-entry select the current entry <End> last-entry move to the last entry I have a suspicion that the problem stems from the switch to the Type-6 keyboard. Note that these four non-working keypad keys are also marked <End>, <Pg Dn>, <Home> and <Pg Up>. However, the other keypad keys also have multiple functions and they continue to work. (Note: The Num Lock function is off and has been disable using xmodmap so that it will never be turned on accidentally.) Does anyone have any insight into this problem and can you suggest anything else to investigate or a possible work-around. Thanks for any help you can offer. Regards, -- Jeffery Small |
