Thanx for the help, strange that none of these work. Any other ideas?

You want Page_Up and Page_Down.

Disregard this, sorry. I was looking at your labels...

Every other key press works. Is it possible that the keypress keys access an empty history file?

Ehhh, on 2nd thought I don't think so. I can push the bar a few times off the key bar and it doesn't pull it back from the history when using PageUP on the key bar, but does pull it from the hx on the Keyboard.

any chance of maybe doing a own shortcut like:

shown name: "root"
command if you click it: "sudo gainroot"

or just any other command you may use regularly?! (:

I have one just like that

in /usr/share/applications/hildon the desktop files live.

Make a copy of the one called xterm.desktop or sometging like that. I think it's osso-xterm or something.

Edit the exec line to add the command "root" without the quotes. Set the icon command to your Icon you want. Here's one I made for root.

Put your icon in the scalable and 48x48 directories.

Does nobody use the PageUp and PageDn on the key bar? I REALLY wished this would work. It would save wear and tear on my keyboard slider just to hit the up arrow.

The up arrow and down arrow are what I want to pull commands from the command history.

mhm... a copy of the rx-51 file... cursors:

Code:

    key <UP>	{ type[Group1] = "ONE_LEVEL", symbols[Group1] = [	Up	] };
    key <LEFT>	{ type[Group1] = "ONE_LEVEL", symbols[Group1] = [	Left	] };
    key <DOWN>	{ type[Group1] = "ONE_LEVEL", symbols[Group1] = [	Down	] };
    key <RGHT>	{ type[Group1] = "ONE_LEVEL", symbols[Group1] = [	Right	] };

Not sure how to integrate that into the gconf2 command?

les_garten: There definitely seems to be a bug here. I was able to add Page_Up and Page_Down to the rx_51 keymap (fn+up and fn+down), but I was unable to make them work on the xterm bar.

I was beginning to think it was just me! But those were on there like that from the factory, ehhh? So they never worked for anyone?

I have Up and Down (along with Carriage Return) mapped so that I don't have to slide the keyboard out.

Modify the lines below according to your needs:

Code:

gconftool-2 --set -t list --list-type string \
    /apps/osso/xterm/key_labels "[Tab,Esc,Dn,Up,CR]"

gconftool-2 --set -t list --list-type string \
    /apps/osso/xterm/keys "[Tab,Escape,Down,Up,KP_Enter]"
