By default, KDE's konsole application is not quite compatible with the FreeBSD "xterm" terminal emulation, causing minor annoyances using applications like vi, or even doing command line editing with bash. The fix is very simple. >How-To-Repeat: Open a KDE konsole and try to use your "Home" or "End" keys using bash to jump to the start or end of the command line, or try using the Page Up or Page Down keys within more or vi. Also, FreeBSD's default console and xterm uses CTRL-H for the Backspace key, but KDE's konsole does not. >Fix: Change your working directory to /usr/local/share/apps/konsole, then copy the default.Keytab to freebsd.keytab and apply the patch below. # cd /usr/local/share/apps/konsole # cp default.Keytab freebsd.keytab # patch -p < /path/to/keytab/patch/below Next, start your konsole application and from the Keyboard submenu of the Settings menu, choose the new "FreeBSD XTerm (XFree 4.x.x)" option. Then do "Save Settings" from the Settings menu. Now you can use KDE's konsole without all the annoying little irritations. Would it be possible to get something like this (say a FreeBSD specific keyboard table) included with the KDE 3.0 port? Thanks! Aaron out.
