keysym for xterm?

Xeratul · 08-17-2011, 05:03 PM

Hi,

I would like to convert this to xterm (not using urxvt). However there are keysyms. How could I pass the keysyms to xterm?

Code:

TERMINAL=xterm
GEOMETRY='-g 50x1+350+400'
FOREGROUND='--foreground green'
BACKGROUND='--background black'

if [[ $- != *i* ]] ; then
        urxvt $GEOMETRY $FOREGROUND $BACKGROUND \
        +sb -bc -b 6 -name "run" -title "run" \
        --keysym.C-0xFF0D: "\ ^A $TERMINAL -e \ ^E &\n exit\n" \
        --keysym.0xFF0D: "\ ^A parsecmd \ ^E &\n exit\n" \
        --keysym.0xFF1B: " &\ ^C exit\n" $@ \
        -e bash --init-file "$0"

Thanks

In xterm, that's usually done with the "translations" resource.

I think that I would use bind (bash) for it, it is simple, you can simply use eg.:

Code:

 bind "\C-?": backward-delete-char

However would you know how to detect this "\C-?" with something like xev but for the xterm?
and also to exec a command with bind ?

$ bind --help
bash: bind: --: invalid option
bind: usage: bind [-lpvsPVS] [-m keymap] [-f filename] [-q name] [-u name] [-r keyseq] [-x keyseq:shell-command] [keyseq:readline-function or readline-command]

OK, got it with read:
<escape> is : ^[

bind '"^[": exec skype'

is not working
