Makes vte's keypad application mode behave like XTerm's (3.06 KB, patch)
2003-11-28 09:58 UTC, Jean-Yves Lefort 		needs-work Details | Review

Description Jean-Yves Lefort 2003-11-28 09:57:13 UTC 
In application keypad mode, when NumLock is off, XTerm sends escape
sequences for KP_Divide, KP_Multiply, KP_Substract, KP_Add and KP_Enter.
When NumLock is on, it behaves as in normal mode: it sends literal /, *, -,
+ and newline.

vte always sends escape sequences, disregarding the state of the NumLock
modifier. This disallows the user to use the above 5 keys in programs
enabling application keypad mode, such as vi and less.

The proposed patch makes vte behave like XTerm.

Note that in src/keymap.h, VTE_NUMLOCK_MASK is improperly defined to
GDK_MOD2_MASK: NumLock isn't always Mod2. Fixing this is left as an
exercise for the committer (GDK properly detects the NumLock modifier in
gdk/x11/gdkkeys-x11.c, update_keymaps() function; perhaps some
gdk_get_numlock_mask() call could be added to the GDK API).

This has been used in Fedora Core since early in november last year. I'm
commiting this to CVS now.
