My problem is that the page_up/down keys always control the scrollbar
in gnome-terminal. I understand that this should be the behaviour of
shift-page_up/down only, and that page_up/down should be usable in,
for example, emacs -nw.
I'm using the Sun package of gnome-2.0. I know that this annoying
behaviour is also exhibited by the dtterm of Sun's very own CDE.
I've made xterm behave in the usual way, with this in my .Xresources
file:
*VT100.Translations: #override \
<Key>Home: string("\033[1~")\n\
<Key>End: string("\033[4~")\n\
<Key>osfPageUp: string(prior)\n\
<Key>osfPageDown: string(next)
Is there a similar solution in the case of gnome-terminal? It seems
that it ignores .Xresources.
Things I've tried already:
xev reveals that my keypresses for page_up are generating:
KeyPress event, serial 24, synthetic NO, window 0x880001,
root 0x25, subw 0x0, time 3191507620, (3,8), root:(608,465),
state 0x0, keycode 82 (keysym 0xff55, Prior), same_screen YES,
XLookupString gives 0 characters: ""
KeyRelease event, serial 24, synthetic NO, window 0x880001,
root 0x25, subw 0x0, time 3191507708, (3,8), root:(608,465),
state 0x0, keycode 82 (keysym 0xff55, Prior), same_screen YES,
XLookupString gives 0 characters: ""
I've tried using xmodmap to generate Page_Up and Prior commands, but
both of these control the scrollbar.
! Page Up
keycode 82 = Prior Page_Up
xmodmap is "working" in the sense that if I set the page_up key to
some character, it "does the right thing". But gnome-terminal just
interprets all Page_Up, Prior, and so forth commands as controlling
the scrollbar.
Is there any documentation for how to *really* configure
gnome-terminal?
Will.
