On solaris, I can map commands to keys using .Xdefaults
XTerm*VT100*translations: #override \
<Key>Home: string("clear\n") \n\
<Key>F7: string("set path=($path /usr/local/bin) ; rehash
\n") \n\
What's nice about this is
- it's a single key activation (as opposed to key + <return> or <alt> + key
- it passes the command thru even if I get onto a different OS (linux, aix...)
This doesn't seem to work for me within gnome on linux however I can at
least map "clear" using
gconf-editor -->apps-->metacity-->{keybindings command|global keybindings}
but the "set" command wont work. I'm guessing gnome-editor is probably not
the best way to do this. Perhaps I just need to better define the terminal
type within .Xdefaults (its xterm by default). Anyone doing this?
TIA
