40 | Why doesn't the Del key work in some programs? | ||
41 | |||
42 | Taken from the terminfo manpage: | ||
43 | |||
44 | If the terminal has a keypad that transmits codes when the keys | ||
45 | are pressed, this information can be given. Note that it is not | ||
46 | possible to handle terminals where the keypad only works in | ||
47 | local (this applies, for example, to the unshifted HP 2621 keys). | ||
48 | If the keypad can be set to transmit or not transmit, tive these | ||
49 | codes as smkx and rmkx. Otherwise the keypad is assumed to | ||
50 | always transmit. | ||
51 | |||
52 | In the st case smkx=\E[?1h\E= and rmkx=\E[?1l\E>, so it is mandatory that | ||
53 | applications which want to test against keypad keys, have to send these | ||
54 | sequences. | ||
55 | |||
56 | But buggy applications like bash and irssi for example don't do this. A fast | ||
57 | solution for them is to use the following command: | ||
58 | |||
59 | $ echo ^[?1h^[= >/dev/tty | ||
60 | |||
61 | or | ||
62 | $ echo $(tput smkx) >/dev/tty | ||
63 | |||
64 | In the case of bash it is using readline, which has a different not in its | ||
65 | manpage: | ||
66 | |||
67 | enable-keypad (Off) | ||
68 | When set to On, readline will try to enable the | ||
69 | application keypad when it is called. Some systems | ||
70 | need this to enable arrow keys. | ||
71 | |||
72 | Adding this option to your .inputrc will fix the keypad problem for all | ||
73 | applications using readline. | ||
