Hi, the following bug report concerning the rxvt-unicode terminfo entry was sent to the Debian bug tracking system a while ago. The bottom line is that that "kIC=\E2$" seems to be a typo and should replaced by "kIC=\E[2$", which seems plausible to me. Could you please have a look whether that is indeed the case?
Regards,
Sven
--- Begin Message ---Package: ncurses-base Version: 5.5-5 The rxvt-unicode terminfo file indicates that the escape sequence is "ESC 2 $". This can be seen using `infocmp`: # Reconstructed via infocmp from file: /lib/terminfo/r/rxvt-unicode rxvt-unicode|rxvt-unicode terminal (X Window System), am, bce, bw, ccc, eo, km, mc5i, mir, msgr, npc, xenl, xon, [...] kDC=\E[3$, kEND=\E[8$, kHOM=\E[7$, kIC=\E2$, kLFT=\E[d, ^^^^^^^^ However, the rxvt-unicode source code file command.C says it should be "\E[2$". Here is the code: void rxvt_term::key_press (XKeyEvent &ev) { [...] switch (keysym) { /* normal XTerm key bindings */ [...] case XK_Insert: strcpy (kbuf, "\033[2~"); break; [...] /* * these modifications only affect the static keybuffer * pass Shift/Control indicators for function keys ending with `~' * * eg, * Prior = "ESC[5~" * Shift+Prior = "ESC[5$" * Ctrl+Prior = "ESC[5^" * Ctrl+Shift+Prior = "ESC[5@" * Meta adds an Escape prefix (with META8_OPTION, if meta == <escape>). */ if (kbuf[0] == C0_ESC && kbuf[1] == '[' && kbuf[len - 1] == '~') kbuf[len - 1] = (shft ? (ctrl ? '@' : '$') : (ctrl ? '^' : '~')); The last bit of code turns the ~ into a $. The "bug" is also in the sid version of the file. I am using etch. Thanks, --John
