We need evidence for that, and we need evidence that would explain why xterm.el does have a translation for that key. > I already wrote to Thomas Dickey (xterm maintainer) some days ago about > this: AFAIU, Thomas just says that he doesn't know of any standard xterm assignment to the Menu key. I already knew that, because I looked into the xterm sequences documentation when you first reported the issue. So what Thomas wrote doesn't tell me anything new. > The other change I propose is the S- instead of S- and for that > we have all the evidence that urxvt binds the same escape sequence to > S- (since we do: > > lisp/term/rxvt.el:67: (define-key map "\e[29~" [S-f6]) I don't think using S-F6 for this is a good idea. F10 is our key for menus, so S-F10 sounds a lot better. > Otherwise we will need to request to all the compatible terminals around > to update their terminfo.. a very long process that will delay for years > until all the systems in all the servers will be updated. I don't understand why would we need to request anything. If this is for the Print key, then since it seems that no keyboard has it, we are good.
