 |
|
Hi,
I have just upgraded to xorg-x11-6.7.0 and after restarting my X server some keybindings in xterm disappeard. Currently I cannot use ALT-f/b to move forward/backward one word and ALT backspace only deletes one character not whole words.
Does anyone know which config file I have to adjust to get the previous mappings back? (I'm using KDE and konsole still works - but I prefer xterm.)
Thanks

Thanks - this helped indeed (for most of my problems).
I don't really understand what happened, because inputrc on this systems was the same as on another Gentoo box (which is running with xfree86).
Nevertheless I added entries for the keybindings that stopped working:
"\M-\b": backward-kill-word
Meta-b: backward-word
Meta-f: forward-word
Meta-d: kill-word
M-b,M-f and M-d are working. But backward killing a word (Meta-Backspace) still doesn't work.
Any thoughts about that?

You want to use
| Code: | | Meta-Rubout: backward-kill-word |
But I haven't been able to figure out how to do M-<, M-> and M-v yet (e.g. in less, info, etc), so if anyone knows, please post it. I think its just a matter of figuring out what the command references for page up, page bottom, page top are called.
[edit] I just noticed that neither rxvt nor aterm have the problem, so it appears to be an xterm problem, not an x.org.
