Customize X-term? - maemo.org

mfresh | # 1 | 2007-12-19, 09:31 | Report

I'm trying to add CTRL-P to the X-term toolbar in OS2008.

It's possible to add any commands you want to the bar by giving a command a name and then filling in what key combo you want that command to do.

So my question is this: how do you enter CTRL on the keyboard? There is no CTRL button, but is there some way of invoking it from the keyboard?

just type <ctrl> not as a single keystroke but as the typed string.

Perfect. Thanks Linuxrebel.

This new thing of having to press the Ctrl button on the tool bar, then tapping the screen to call up the keyboard, then typing in the p in the dialog box was driving me mad!

I've managed to add only enter to the shortcut toolbar
Here's what gconftool reports. Check how you can add these values.
I always forget things i don't use more then once

~ $ gconftool-2 -R /apps/osso/xterm
key_labels = [Tab,Esc,PgUp,PgDn,Enter]
scrollbar = true
font_size = 16
font_name = Monospace
foreground = #00ff00
keys = [Tab,Escape,Page_Up,Page_Down,KP_Enter]
scrollback = 200
font_size_delta = -4
toolbar = true
reverse = false
background = #000000

PS: i doubt you can have the CTRL-P google for "Page_Up,Page_Down,KP_Enter"

A useful one to add to xterm is "bar" (or "Bar", don't remember) to print '|'.

Mmm . . . I like this idea.

It's called a "pipe" around these parts.

What do I need to enter for pipe? I've tried various things, many of which kill xterm. Is there a list somewhere for the magic <> values to use with this toolbar? Like "KP_Enter" - apparently that's ENTER, but how do I know that?

Thank you for the help.

I'll jump in this topic as well.

I'm looking for a way to remove the cursor altogether, you know, the white square thingie where you're typing text.

It's been causing some weird problems using Telnet so I would be very grateful if anyone knew how for X-Term to not print the cursor at all.

Thanks.
