RE: copying and pasting in rxvt

[Randall R Schulz <rrschulz at cris dot com>]

Jorg,

Here's what I did: I used "od -c" to determine what are the actual 
sequences generated by the keys I cared to map and then wrote a .inputrc 
file based on that.

Here's a hint, RXVT and the Windows console do not agree fully on key 
mappings (nor are the completely distinct).

Here's the ".inputrc" file I use. It works both with RXVT and the Windows 
console:

-==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==-
# set completion-ignore-case on


# Console:
#   F1 - F5
"\M-[[A"    "fg %1\C-M"
"\M-[[B"    "fg %2\C-M"
"\M-[[C"    "fg %3\C-M"
"\M-[[D"    "fg %4\C-M"
"\M-[[E"    "fg %5\C-M"


# RXVT:
#   F1 - F4
"\M-[11~"   "fg %1\C-M"
"\M-[12~"   "fg %2\C-M"
"\M-[13~"   "fg %3\C-M"
"\M-[14~"   "fg %4\C-M"
"\M-[15~"   "fg %5\C-M"


# Both Console and RXVT:
#   F6 - F12
"\M-[17~"   "fg %6\C-M"
"\M-[18~"   "fg %7\C-M"
"\M-[19~"   "fg %8\C-M"
"\M-[20~"   "fg %9\C-M"
"\M-[21~"   "fg %10\C-M"
"\M-[23~"   "fg %11\C-M"
"\M-[24~"   "fg %-\C-M"


# Console:
     "\M-[1~":   beginning-of-line       # Home
     "\M-[4~":   end-of-line             # End


# RXVT:
     "\M-[7~":   beginning-of-line       # Home
     "\M-[8~":   end-of-line             # End


# Both Console and RXVT:
     "\M-[2~":   paste-from-clipboard    # Insert
#   "\M-[5~"                            # Page-Up
     "\M-[3~":   delete-char             # Delete
#   "\M-[6~"                            # Page-Down
-==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==-


The attachment is the same file in Unix EOL format with tabs intact. The 
tabs are meant to be set at four-column intervals.

I suppose most people will find my use of the Fn keys unimaginative, but at 
least you now know what sequences they generate on each emulator.
