First off, I'm using Opensuse 13.2 64-bit and also Arch_Linux 64-bit Can't get the bind to work for either of them (well, the binds that I want), but I'm mostly focused on the Arch_Linux. Also, using openbox wm, xfce4-terminal. ( in opensuse using konsole and gnome 3) and my $TERM is set to xterm-256color in my ~/.bashrc and is switched to screen-256color when using screen in opensuse, but strangely is not changed in Arch.
I want to bind C-a down: to focus down, C-a up: to focus up, C-a left: to focus left etc.. Lets just focus on focus down for the moment. I've tried everything in my ~/.screenrc file
bind "\E[B" focus down
bind "\EOB" focus down
bind "^[[B" focus down
bind "^[OB" focus down
bind "\033[B" focus down
bind "\033OB" focus down
bind "\033\133\102" focus down
bind j focus down # works fine
Nothing catches the down arrow key. I CAN use the following
bind -k kd focus down
however, I also want to bind multiple keys using the arrows and AFAIK the -k option only allows binding 1 key (or shift + left/right) . Actually I'm lucky I can even use the -k option since it is not documented.
Now I've checked my kd (termcap) and kcud1 (terminfo) using infocmp
infocmp -1 | grep kcud1
kcud1=\EOB,
infocmp -1C | grep kd
:kd=\EOB:\
and BTW these symbols can be looked up here for termcap and here for terminfo and its termcap equivelancies (actually I guess you can just use: man terminfo)
when I use Ctrl-v and press down arrow I get
^[[B
showkey -a
^[[B 27 0033 0x1b
91 0133 0x5b
66 0102 0x42
Anyone know how to go about this. I want to know why I can't use bind without the -k termcap_name and/or how to use combo of keys(such as ctrl/alt) and termcap names. Thanks for all and any info.
I've tried setting termcapinfo also with no luck. don't think I'm using it right.
termcapinfo * kd=\EOB
bind "\EOB" focus down
termcapinfo * kd=\E[B
bind "\E[B" focus down
etc...
