tty emacs

[Niels Freimann]

Hi,

emacs in tty mode (emacs -nw) obviously doesn't know
C-prior and C-next. I already tried out 
(define-key function-key-map "\e[40~" [C-prior])
(define-key function-key-map "\e[41~" [ C-next])
however its doesn't help. Any idea?

Presumably you're running in a tty window under X, but under which
operating system?.  I run emacs directly on a Linux tty.  I had to remap
my keyboard (with the program loadkeys) fairly radically to make it
produce different codes for [right] and [C-right], and so on.  Maybe you
have to do this (or something similar) for emacs -nw.

Well, tell us HOW it didn't help.  :-)   What exactly does happen?

Let me guess:  C-prior does exactly the same as prior.  After typing
these two key sequences, do a C-h l ('view-lossage') to see exactly what
key codes emacs received.

Could you show me how to do that? I'm using Emacs on a Linux tty too,
and have the same problem with [right], [C-right].

What does "C-h l" (that's a letter ell, not a digit one) tell if you
invoke it after pressing those keys?  What does "C-h c" say if you
follow it by one of them?
