One of the problem you are reporting with NEdit... that is you can move only
cursor with mouse
but no arrow keys.
Did you consider reading FAQ and mail archive? I forgot to metion in the
moring, I was busy at work.
One will have keyboard problems with MOTIF applications, if XERRORDB and
XKeysmDB are not set.
On a UNIX machine there are set in your X installation tree, but on Windows,
you MUST set or
keyboard will not work.
Please read the FAQ Section 3.22:
3.22 I compiled an X/MOTIF client foo.exe. My foo.exe executes but I cannot
use keyboard and my console dumps Xt Warnings:
Warning: translation table syntax error: Unknown event type : BtnMotion
Warning: ... found while parsing ' <BtnMotion>: ManagerGadgetButtonM…
<SNIP> …
What is wrong?
You need to set XkeysymDB and XerrorDB Environment. XkeysymDB and XerrorDB
files usually resides in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11 directory.
For example:
SET XKeysymDB=C:\usr\X11R6\lib\X11\XKeysymDB
SET XerrorDB =C:\usr\X11R6\lib\X11\XErrorDB
