Howdy, Does anyone have, or have a reference to, a keyboard config for any of the major X console apps? I'd like to have something like xterm or rxvt work with my keyboard in much the same way as things would work at the CLI. I've been reading man pages until my eyes went red, and I just don't see how to properly get this configured. At this point, the only GUI based console I've gotten to work properly is TeraTerm on my NT box. Just something wrong with having to go to NT to work with FreeBSD if ya know what I mean :) More specifically, I'd like to have the following keys perform these actions. Backspace - kill character on the left Delete - kill character on the right Home - Move cursor to beggining of line End - Move cursor to end of line Ctrl Home - Move cursor to beggining of file Ctrl End - Move cursor to end of file Ctrl Rt Arrow - Move cursor to next word Ctrl Lt Arrow - Move cursor to previous word Well, that's a bit more than the CLI, but that's my keyboard wish list. I don't mind doing the work or the reading, but I seem to be working and reading all the wrong stuff! Later on, -- Maintain thine air speed lest the ground come up and smite thee.
