Turns out iTerm 2 supports the same key mappings as xterm, out of the box. Terminal.app does SORT of but is a bit random.. sampsa <sampsa at mac.com> mobile +44 7961 149465 On 5 Jan 2014, at 20:03, Sampsa Laine <sampsa at mac.com> wrote: Actually forget, xterm is unusable, even basic copy-paste between OS X apps and xterm doesn't work. I'll hack out a keyboard mapping later for a slightly more modern terminal. sampsa <sampsa at mac.com> mobile +44 7961 149465 On 5 Jan 2014, at 19:54, Sampsa Laine <sampsa at mac.com> wrote: OK, xterm works pretty well after some investigation.. I've never before attempted to change the setting of an old-skool X program and it looks like an absolute nightmare. Could any of you gurus produce an .xtermrc with a beige background and black text and font size set to 14? sampsa <sampsa at mac.com> mobile +44 7961 149465 On 5 Jan 2014, at 19:13, Sampsa Laine <sampsa at mac.com> wrote: Actually xTerm has SOME of the mappings defined by default, does anyone have a decent .xtermrc file for all of them? sampsa <sampsa at mac.com> mobile +44 7961 149465 On 5 Jan 2014, at 19:05, Sampsa Laine <sampsa at mac.com> wrote: On 5 Jan 2014, at 17:53, Johnny Billquist <bqt at softjar.se> wrote: On 2014-01-04 21:08, Sampsa Laine wrote: Been playing remapping some "slime slim, full size Apple" kbd but the results aren't great. Does anybody have a canonical list of VT220 escape codes, preferably in hex (I think my term's escape sequence is broken).. Why don't you use xterm? The mappings are already correct. And as a bonus, you actually get a VT100 emulation with less bugs. Where are the config files for xterm stored? I want it to look less 1982 and have a font that doesn't require a microscope to read. sampsa
