From: Faried Nawaz Date: 20 Mar 1998 15:06:15 -0800 Message-ID: Lines: 23 X-Mailer: Gnus v5.3/Emacs 19.34 Sender: owner-freebsd-stable@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk I've just upgraded a machine to 2.2.6-980319-BETA, and everything seems to work fine except screen. Something doesn't handle/send the delete key properly. I connect from my home machine (2.2.5, running XFree86 3.3.1, via ssh) to the -stable machine. When I'm not running screen, I can hit the delete key and applications see that as \127. When I run the same applications under screen, they see ^[[3~. With 2.2.5 or 2.2.2, hitting delete under screen sends \127. Most applications that are linked with libtermcap seem affected (it seems that xemacs handles this properly). This appears independent of which shell or terminal type I use (I've tried csh and bash, and the termtypes "screen", vt100, vt220, and ansi). Can anyone else reproduce (or better -- explain) this? I don't see any PRs in this area. -- faried. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
