Description Hans de Goede 2002-10-05 14:14:47 UTC

Description of Problem:
keypad +-* aren't recognised as such anymore. Normally keypad keys can be seen
as seperate keys from the normal +-* by an text mode application running in the
terminal, if the application has asked for them to send special ESC-sequences.

This used to work fine in gnome1

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
gnome-terminal-2.0.1-5

How Reproducible:
Start gnome terminal, start mc, go to learn keys press the + on the keypad, it
isn't recognised. This used to work in gnome-terminal from gnome1, and it works
fine in xterm.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start gnome-terminal
2. Start mc
3. Goto learn keys (in the options menu, press F9 to get in the menu)
4. press + on the keypad.

Actual Results:
Nothing happens

Expected Results:
+ on keypad gets marked OK (try F1 - F12, etc)

Additional Information:

Comment 1 Hans de Goede 2002-10-05 14:30:13 UTC

I did some digging (in my memory and in the manpage for terminfo) The problem is
that gnome-terminal doesn't honer the smkx terminfo capability anymore (it used
todo so)

Other (better?) way to reproduce:
1) start xterm
2) type CTRL-V (this give the verbatim output of the next key even if it is an 
   esc-sequence, try for example CTRL-v F1
3) type + on keypad it gives "+" as output
4) type "tput smkx" <enter> (this enables the keypad transmit ability of the 
   terminal)
5) now do CTRL-V, + on keypad
6) you can make your + on keypad normal again by typing "tput rmkx"


p.s. konsole has this problem too, but there it can't be fixed because qt
doesn't know the difference between keypad and normal keys.
