GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 540179
Shift with some Function Keys no longer work to spec
Last modified: 2012-10-08 21:32:57 UTC
Please describe the problem: Pressing SHIFT+F1, SHIFT+F2, SHIFT+F3, SHIFT+F4 no longer works to the XTERM spec in vte-0.16.x Steps to reproduce: 1. In gnome-terminal, cat - 2. SHIFT+F4 3. Start "xterm" 4. cat - 5. SHIFT+F4 Actual results: ^[O1;2S (gnome-terminal) ^[O2S (xterm) Expected results: Does this happen every time? Yes. Other information: I originally filed this at Red Hat. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=249573 I found out that the Gnome Bugzilla had the change recorded. It was originally a problem with ALT+arrow keys. http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=337252 The code is currently in a #if 1 define in vte-0.16.13/src/keymap.c:1440 and needs to be addressed with a better patch so that both SHIFT+F1 through SHIFT+F4 work along with ALT+arrow keys.
Here I get: xterm 278: ^[[1;2S vte 0.34 : ^[O1;2S
