I need to program the + key on a number pad to be (esc0M) (A VMS keycode).

I am on a Linux (Redhat 9) terminal and it will only have a numeric keypad attached to it. The user will have a script attached which will automagically connect it (via ssh) to a Sun server and launch an application (no GUI). This application has a requirement for the esc sequences.

I'm willing to try a different terminal emulator (currently using Gnomes built in) or xterm. I have been experimenting with key mappings in Gnome and xterm, problem is the new mappings do not seem to follow when I ssh to the Sun server.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Not sure if all this will work for you. Use the command ' xev ' and get the keycode to the key. Then use this command to see if it works for you. ' xmodmap -e 'keycode 86 = esc0M'. Change 86 to the keycode you get from xev.

Forgot where I have my other links.
Also search this site on the subject.

Thanks for your help and suggestion.

Here is my problem.

This works:

xmodmap -e " keycode 119 = Escape"

The / becomes Escape however I have not been able to find any syntax which allows me to add the 0M to the keycode.

[$USER@$HOST:$PWD] ->xmodmap -e " keycode 119 = Escape0M"
xmodmap: commandline:0: bad keysym name 'Escape0M' in keysym list
xmodmap: 1 error encountered, aborting.

Thanks again for the suggestion.

Don't know if this will help but about I could find on esc0M was here.

Thanks for the help.

I ended up downloading Multi-Gnome terminal from

http://multignometerminal.sourceforge.net

which allowed me to customize the keyboard shortcuts using ASCII characters (\033OM for example)

Thanks again for the help!

Glad you have it worked out. I will check out the multignome when I have more sparing time. Thanks for the shortcut tip for it. Will make a note of that.
