PENG was mainly tested on PCs (Linux console and DJGPP), so there's no guarantee that other terminals will support enough function keys to be useful, but generally the key bindings should be portable.
ALT means the Alt key, but on some terminals it's the Meta key, or the ESC key which must be pressed before the other key. Under X11, it's modifier #1 (see `xmodmap(1)').
ALTGR is the AltGr key on PC keyboards (Linux, DJGPP), and modifier #3 under X11.
EXTRA can mean another modifier key if present. On DJGPP, it's the Scroll Lock key, under X11 it's the modifier #4, and on a local Linux console, it's the `CtrlL' modifier (value 64) which is unused on many keytabs and can be mapped e.g., to those keys on new keyboards with these ugly symbols waiting to be replaced by penguins (keycodes 125 and 127) by inserting the following two lines into your `/etc/default.keytab' and reloading the keytab with `loadkeys':
keycode 125 = CtrlL keycode 127 = CtrlL
The following points may help solve problems with the terminal versions on Unix systems.
The following items list some key alternatives useful on terminals with limited function and special keys available. There are also some comments about keys on particular systems.
The SHIFT key combined with cursor movement keys, used for marking text, only works on local Linux consoles, DJGPP, and X11. As an alternative, CTRL-B can be used to virtually press/release SHIFT. However, this does not affect capitalization of letters.
The following alternatives are provided for Wordstar/Borland compatibility and for terminals without function keys:
| UP
|
| DOWN
|
| LEFT
|
| RIGHT
|
| CTRL-LEFT
|
| CTRL-RIGHT
|
| PGUP
|
| PGDN
|
| DEL
|
| INS -- this is not Wordstar/Borland compatible; they use CTRL-V, but CTRL-V is used for a different purpose in the text editor (see section Keys Used In The Text Editor) which is compatible to `bash(1)' (see section `Commands For Changing Text' in the bash manual), `csh(1)' and `vi(1)'. |
Some hotkeys use ALT-Fn key combinations. The Linux console uses these key combinations by default to switch virtual consoles, and some window managers (when running under X11) are also configured to use them for their own purposes. Therefore, PENG provides the alternatives (on all systems, of course) ALT-n for ALT-Fn (1 <= n <= 9) and ALT-0 for ALT-F10.
Besides ALT-Fn (see section Alternatives For ALT Plus Function Keys), Linux consoles also use SHIFT-PGUP/PGDN for a special purpose (scrolling) by default.
In order to mark text (see section General Keys Used By PENG) while scrolling pages, you can use the alternatives (see section Alternatives For Some Cursor Movement Keys) SHIFT-CTRL-R/SHIFT-CTRL-C.
If this annoys you, you might want to change your `/etc/default.keytab'. E.g., I moved scrolling to ALT/ALTGR-UP/DOWN/PGUP/PGDN and console switching to EXTRA-Fn on my keyboard, so I can use SHIFT-PGUP/PGDN for marking pages and ALT-Fn as hotkeys.
The hotkeys ALT-- and ALT-] for the menu entries `Search/Search' (see section The Menu Entry `Search/Search') and `Search/Replace' (see section The Menu Entry `Search/Replace') are the positions on American keyboards. On international keyboards, they may vary. E.g., on German keyboards they are ALT-ß and ALT-+. (Though ALT-- and ALT-] work, too, under Linux, at least with some keytabs.)
