I think I found how to change MC to work under the new gnome terminal. I put the following text in my ~/.mc/ini file: [terminal:xterm] up=\e[1;5A up=\eO1;5A down=\e[1;5B down=\eO1;5B right=\e[1;5C right=\eO1;5C left=\e[1;5D left=\eO1;5D The idea was taken from the distribution-wide file mc.lib, and I inserted 1;5 in the middle of the escape sequences there based on what was inserted in a file when I pressed Ctrl+left/right arrow. Interestingly, the header [terminal:gnome] (which also occurs in mc.lib) did not make any difference, but as shown above, MC works both in gnome terminal and xterm. There was a similar discussion at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-terminal/+bug/96676 about the fact that gnome terminal suddenly started inserting 1; in the middle of the escape sequences _______________________________________________ gnome-list mailing list gnome-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-list
