Description Marc Deslauriers 2004-04-29 03:47:12 UTC
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4.1)

Description of problem:
When editing a text file, the "Home" and "End" keys don't work anymore
to go to the beginning or end of a line.

The "Home" key just prints "H" and the "End" key just prints "F"

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
nano-1.2.3-1

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.nano -w test.txt
2.type a few characters
3.press "Home" or "End"
    

Actual Results:  The "Home" key just prints "H" and the "End" key just
prints "F"

Expected Results:  Home moves the cursor to the beginning of the line
and End moves to the end of the line

Additional info:

This worked fine in Fedora Core 1.
This bug is a real PITA. :)

Comment 1 Marc Deslauriers 2004-05-02 14:27:06 UTC
Acutally, this looks like a gnome-terminal bug as nano works fine in
text-mode and in xterm.


Comment 2 Anders Kaseorg 2004-05-02 16:55:56 UTC
Home and End are also broken in emacs -nw, in BOTH gnome-terminal and
xterm.

Comment 3 Marc Deslauriers 2004-05-02 19:26:33 UTC
OK. It seems gnome-terminal now send Alt-O-H for home and Alt-O-F for
end. Nano doesn't know what to do with those.

Here is a clean patch for nano to fix this. Here is also a patch for
the spec file.

Can this be included before Fedora Core 2 comes out so nano will work
properly?

Thanks!

Comment 6 David Woodhouse 2004-05-02 19:49:17 UTC
This is bizarre; konsole, gnome-terminal and xterm all generate
_different_ bytes on pressing 'Home'. All set TERM to 'xterm', yet I
see (on fc2):

gnome-terminal: 1b 4f 48
konsole: 1b 5b 48
xterm:  1b 5b 31 7e


Comment 7 Marc Deslauriers 2004-05-02 20:29:12 UTC
That's odd... I get Alt-O-H and Alt-O-F in konsole, same as
gnome-terminal. The patch I made works for konsole too in my case.



Comment 8 Marc Deslauriers 2004-05-04 23:29:37 UTC
What is the status on this bug?

These escape sequences are already in nano CVS...

Comment 9 Chris Petersen 2004-05-22 19:08:49 UTC
on a related note, nano also has wirdness with the +-*/ keys on the
keypad if TERM=xterm (they print kjmo, respectively)..  Setting to
TERM=linux fixes the issue (although doesn't fix the home/end issue in
fc2, it did in fc1 - it also makes vi freak out in fc2).  pressing
control-V in bash, and then any of the +-*/ keys doesn't produce any
escape sequences, so I can't see what's going on with nano.

Comment 10 Joe Orton 2004-05-26 13:36:49 UTC
ncurses changed here and broke everything, I don't know if the nano
thing is worth fixing too: see bug 121922.

Comment 11 Joe Orton 2004-05-26 13:37:34 UTC
Duh, bug 122815.

Comment 12 Marc Deslauriers 2004-05-26 19:12:45 UTC
Bug 122815 shure looks like it will resolve the nano bug.
I guess if ncurses is fixed, this bug can be closed.


Comment 13 Alexandre Strube 2005-04-21 15:38:32 UTC
What's the status? We are moving to FC4 and nano still has this issue.

Comment 14 John Thacker 2006-04-28 13:40:02 UTC
This WORKSFORME now, as a result of the fix for Bug 122815 and has for 
a long time.
