Incompatibilities using gnome-terminal with GNU screen or tmux and emacs
Last modified: 2015-01-03 14:37:56 UTC
When using either screen or tmux with emacs, I experience some incompatibilities that I do not experience when not using screen or tmux. Normally I would see this as a screen or tmux bug but I do not experience these problems when using xterm or putty. Some such incompatibilities are: M-x horizontal cursor-key :: - Supposed to: Move by a word. - Actually does: Inserts characters '3C' or '3D' depending on the cursor-key. C-x horizontal cursor-key :: - Supposed to: Move by a word. - Actually does: Inserts characters '5C' or '5D' depending on the cursor-key. M-ret :: - Supposed to: In org-mode, new-line move cursor intelligently on next line. - Actually does: Inserts new line but does indent properly. This occurs with empty ~/.screenrc and ~/.tmuxrc configurations on Fedora 12. screen: 4.00.03 tmux: 1.1 emacs: 23.1.1 gnome-terminal: 2.28.2 Thanks, Michael

I too can confirm that I experience similar problems and would love to see this fixed.
I assume these were fixed in bug 600659, available since vte-0.36.3. Please reopen if you still experience issues.
