Re: [arch-general] Xterm and .Xresources

[Storm Dragon via arch-general]

Howdy Ralph,

Thanks for the help. My TERM reports as Linux. Should I export it as xterm?

Thanks,
Storm

Hi Storm,

I found that if I export TERM=vt220 that most keys do work

If you start an xterm(1) and find TERM is `xterm' then I'd leave it
alone.

but home and end in applications like nano and ne do not work still
and cause weird behavior.

In the xterm, run `od -c' and type `Home Enter Ctrl-D' and then adjust
the appropriate resources to match as they're probably wrong:

            <Key>Home: string(0x1b) string("[3~") \n \

...

            <Key>Home: string(0x1b) string("[1~") \n\

It may be better to slowly build up your X resources a bit at a time,
understanding each, rather than adopt a mass at once and then try and
discover the problems and debug them.
