[help] emacs on gnome-terminal

[Takehiko Abe]

emacs on gnome-terminal (on debian testing and ubuntu
feisty) gives me ";5C" and ";5D" for control-right and
control-left. Rxvt-unicode does not have this problem.

I have no clue what I should do. I want to bind control-right
and control-left to forward-sexp and backward-sexp.

Thanks for your help.
T.

Try a google "xterm-extras.el"
it will give me some clue :)

Gack. That's too many define-keys for trial & error.

ok... it points to ctlseqs.ms and that in turn points
to http://www.xfree86.org/current/ctlseqs.html...
~~~~~my head is about to explode. now.

Thanks

no, you don't have to try.
basically you can just include everything in xterm-extras.el, and it
will take care of everything
the following is what I used in my .emacs file

  (require 'xterm-extras)
  (xterm-extra-keys)

Ah, that's much easier. but it doesn't work unfortunately.
emacs still gives me pesky ;5D;5C;5D;5C;5D;5C;5D;5C;5D;5C.
[I tried xterm-extras without my .emacs]

will try again tomorrow.

Thanks,
T.

Try the following in your ~/.emacs file:

(define-key global-map "\eO1;5A" [(control up)])
(define-key global-map "\eO1;5B" [(control down)])
(define-key global-map "\eO1;5C" [(control right)])
(define-key global-map "\eO1;5D" [(control left)])

Actually such key-mapping should not be done in global-map, but in
function-key-map:

(define-key function-key-map "\eO1;5A" [C-up])
(define-key function-key-map "\eO1;5B" [C-down])
(define-key function-key-map "\eO1;5C" [C-right])
(define-key function-key-map "\eO1;5D" [C-left])

That does it. Beautiful. Thanks a lot.

I found a bug report filed against debian libvte9 [#421734].
which concerns a similar problem -- shift-arrow producing
1;2c, etc in vi. And I was about to try other terminal
emulator. I guess I don't have to.

Please use `function-key-map' rather than `global-map' as Stefan

I wish there were a table of the codes for all the keys that the
gnome-terminal produces.
