Package: joe Version: 3.3-5 Severity: normal
Using joe within an xterm. Press control-PageUp. I did this by mistake because I was at the same time time editing a C source file in Turbo C (in another window, using dosemu). Instead of control-PageUp, which is the command to go to "beginning of file" in Turbo C, I should have used control-KU. To correct, I quickly did control-KU. This took me to the top of the file, removing the original position in the file from view. However, pressing control-PageUp had inserted a string "5~" in the text. I did not notice it at the time, but noticed it later when a compilation failed. It turns out that not only Control-PageUp, but also other key combinations, like Fn (function key n, for n > 3), insert strings in the text, e.g.: F6 produces ~ shift-F6 produces ;2~ control-F6 produces ;5~ This is no good. "Special key" combinations, like function keys, should either do something functional (hopefully well-documented), or they should do nothing. They should never leave random rubbish in the text.
