Description of problem: konsole sends 2x escape for alt + cursor/home/end keys Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kdebase-3.1-0.9 How reproducible: Konsole prefixes all key-sequences with an esc when alt (meta) is pressed. This is right for normal keys but wrong for keys which already send esc-sequences (cursor keys, function keys). Prefixing an esc-sequence with an esc leads to 2 esc's in one sequence 2 esc's normally is seen as an abort try: Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start mcedit in konsole 2. type something 3. press alt left or alt right or alt F6, etc Actual results: Save on quit yes/no/cancel Expected results: dunno, maybe go word left go word right (this happens in bash) but not the quit dialog box Additional info: This is related to konsole not doing anything with other modifier keys for the cursor keys. I'll put this in a seperate bug. This also bites vi, joe, mc itself and probably other apps. Anyways just like bug 63473 its just plain wrong. (to send 2 esc's)
Still there in severn, I'm willing to write a patch for this and bugs 63473 and 80651, if you're willing to include it :)
Created attachment 94776 [details] Patch fixing the described problem Simple, clean patch, should probably be included upstream, I'll report this there.
