Speaking of what the terminal is sending, I have indeed often been confused by "helpful" terminal apps and distro modified default configs that cause the terminal apps to send totally wacky nonsense when some key is pressed (as near as I can tell because that was the personal preference of the maintainer and therefore everyone should benefit from his preferences being the dedault). Often keys you are absolutely certain will send one thing actually send something else. I don't know if it explains any of your problems, but it has certainly caused me to waste lots of time in the past. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
