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:
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.
Fixing in 0.9.2 and later. Thanks!
