Yep, that's issue 16, fixed on SVN.
Also, I have PF keys map to shortcuts including :q! ^M.
But they are not working now. I don't have these issues under rxvt.
Darn, the old F1..F4 issue. The xterm spec at
http://invisible-island.net/xterm/ctlseqs/ctlseqs.html has two different
sets of keycodes for them:
- "PC-style": ^[[11~ .. ^[[14~ (i.e. actual F1..F4 codes)
- "VT220-style": ^[OP .. ^[OS (i.e. PF1..PF4)
F5 and up have codes like from ^[[15~ onwards with both styles. The
confusion stems from the vt100, which didn't have PC-style F keys, but
did have the PF1..PF4 on the numpad.
MinTTY's running on a PC, rxvt uses the PC-style keys, and the F1..F4
codes seemed more consistent, so I went with PC-style too. Bad decision,
because MinTTY advertises itself as "xterm" and Cygwin's xterm and more
importantly the xterm terminfo entry use the PF codes. I entered issue 22.
Thanks,
Andy
