Patch for src/vte.c (570 bytes, patch)

Description Takao Fujiwara 2007-12-20 04:29:25 UTC 
On German keyboards the ] character is generated by pressing ALT-GRAPH (mode-switch) and 9. This does work in the gnome-terminal. But when used in combination with CTRL, only the 9 appears. CTRL-] is for example needed for telnet escape, which does not work in a gnome-terminal.
The same key combination does work in xterm and dtterm.

Investigating this bug, it's caused by bug 375112.
I wonder why gtk_im_context_filter_keypress() does not return TRUE in 375112 but I'll provide the fix.

Patch for src/vte.c

The patch avoids to call vte_translate_national_ctrlkeys when Mode_switch is pressed.

Could you review the patch?

Works here on master. Both vte and xterm send 0x1d on Ctrl-AltGr-9.
