Map delete key to ctl+c

kofucii · 08-11-2009, 07:14 PM

Hello,
Im using Slackware 12.2, korn shell with editor VI.
How can I map the delete key to ctl+c on console.

In X, it works with:
stty intr ^H

But in console the delete key is: ^[[3~, and stty do not accept this:
stty intr ^[[3~

Does anybody know, how to do this. It must be set on korn shell with command line mode set to Vi, not Emacs.

Isn't crtl+c mapped to SIGTERM on most consoles?

Judging by what he tried to do, he wants delete to cause a SIGINT (not SIGTERM; that's the one kill uses if you don't specify another). OP, shot in the dark here - try `stty intr '^[[3~'`. When you get this working, you'll want to put a switch to run the appropriate one based on the value of $TERM. Like so:

Code:

 52 case "$TERM" in
 53     'xterm')
 54     bindkey '^[[H' beginning-of-line
 55     bindkey '^[OH' beginning-of-line
 56     bindkey '^[[F' end-of-line
 57     bindkey '^[OF' end-of-line
 58     bindkey '^[[3~' delete-char
 59     bindkey '^[[6~' end-of-history
 60     bindkey '^[[5~' insert-last-word
 61     ;;
 62     'xterm*')
 63     bindkey '^[OH' beginning-of-line
 64     bindkey '^[OF' end-of-line
 65     bindkey '^[[3~' delete-char
 66     bindkey '^[[6~' end-of-history
 67     bindkey '^[[5~' insert-last-word
 68     ;;
 69     'screen')
 70     bindkey '^[[1~' beginning-of-line
 71     bindkey '^[[4~' end-of-line
 72     bindkey '^[[3~' delete-char
 73     bindkey '^[[6~' end-of-history
 74     bindkey '^[[5~' insert-last-word
 75     ;;
 76     'linux')
 77     bindkey '^[[1~' beginning-of-line
 78     bindkey '^[[4~' end-of-line
 79     bindkey '^[[3~' delete-char
 80     bindkey '^[[6~' end-of-history
 81     bindkey '^[[5~' insert-last-word
 82     ;;
