screen / screenrc: how to use the right / ctrl arrow to go left and right in windows?

frenchn00b · 10-26-2009, 07:06 AM

IT s impossible to use :
shift + right arrow for next
shift + left arrow for prev
that s my goal

Code:

 cat >/dev/null
^[[D^[[D^[[F^[[F^[[5~^[[5~^[[6~^[[6~^[[5~^[[5~^[[1;2C^[[1;2C^[[1;2C^[[1;2C^[[1;2C^[[1;2C^[[1;2C^[[1;2C^[[1;2C^[[1;2D^[[1;2D^[[1;2C^[[1;2C



^[[1;2C

this is my shift right and left

^[[1;2D



^[[1;2C^[[1;2D^[[1;2D^[[1;2D^[[1;2C^[[1;2C^[[1;2C


^[[1;2C^[[1;2C^[[1;2D^[[1;2D^[[1;2C^[[1;2C^[^[^[[1;5D

this is my ctrl right and left
^[[1;5D^[[1;5C^[[1;5C^[[1;5D^[[1;5D^[[1;5C^[[1;5C^[[1;5D^[[1;5C^[[1;5C^[[1;5C^[[1;5C^[[1;5D^[[1;5D^[[1;5D^[[1;5D^[[1;5C^[[1;5C


^[[1;2C^[[1;2C^[[1;2D^[[1;2C^[[1;5C^[[1;5C^[[1;5D^[[1;5D^[[1;5C

my .screenrc looks like this, but not working. only f1 and f2 work.

Code:

cat  .screenrc
hardstatus alwayslastline "%c %w"

bindkey -k k2 next
bindkey -k k1 prev


bindkey -m "^[[5;2~" stuff ^u

bindkey -m "^[[6;2~" stuff ^d

bind "^[[1;2D" prev
bind "^[[1;2C" next


bindkey "^[1C" next
bindkey "^[1D" prev

--
i use xterm always, everywhre, xterm forever

SOLVED

it works with xterm
so i put below an example with all possible configurations for helping.

Code:

 $ cat .screenrc
hardstatus alwayslastline "%c %w"

bindkey -k k2 next
bindkey -k k1 prev

# for shift UP and DOWN arrows
bindkey ^[[1;5A prev
bindkey ^[[1;5B next

# for ctrl right and left arrows
bindkey ^[[1;5D prev
bindkey ^[[1;5C next


 # for shift right and left arrows
bindkey ^[[1;2D prev
bindkey ^[[1;2C next

Thanks for your thread frenchn00b, it helped me a lot.

For the people who use *gnome-terminal* like me and want to use

Alt-Left and
Alt-Right

to switch between screen windows, because they have Ctrl-Left/Right assined for switching between gnome-terminal tabs,

use the following in your .screenrc

bindkey ^[O3D prev
bindkey ^[O3C next

Hint: To figure out what strings your key combination gives use the cat-devnull-command mentioned by frenchn00b inside screen and not just inside your terminal. This is not always the same.

I would like to reproduce the konsole:

ctrl shift N creates a new shell window.
are you interested?

san.doz · 11-04-2009, 03:06 AM

I don't know if I get your question right?

*gnome-terminal* does open a new shell window on Ctrl-Shift-N
*xterm* does not as far as I see.

And in xterm I don't see a difference between Ctrl-N and Ctrl-Shift-N

So far,

well apparently it is not possible to simulate

SHIFT + ctrl + N

it confuses SHIFT + ctrl + N and ctrl + N

frenchn00b · 11-10-2009, 01:11 PM

here is my screen with all the asked keys above

Quote:

hardstatus alwayslastline "%c %w"

bindkey ^[[1;5A prev

bindkey ^[[1;5B next

bindkey ^[[1;5D prev
bindkey ^[[1;5C next

## shift N, makes a new screen windows
bindkey ^N screen

## I forgot
bindkey ^[[1;2D prev
bindkey ^[[1;2C next

a question now, how to make the

ALT + RIGHT
or ALT + LEFT KEYS combinations working ??
