  • Golded linux - F1 key?

    From Tom De Puysseleyr@2:292/8125 to All on Thursday, May 18, 2023 13:21:42
    All,

    I have golded running on linux, but F1 doesn't work (it behaves like the ESC key). Also I can't select text using shift + arrow keys. Is it even possible to get this working in linux?

    Mine behaves fine. I don't remember if I had to do anything special to get it to behave like this. I don't think so.
    It might have to do with your terminal and its settings.

    Also I can't select text using shift + arrow keys. Is it even

    It works in my current terminal (Konsole in KDE on opensuse). But not when I login remotely to my machine with putty as terminal from a windows machine. So I got my self used to using Alt-A for text selection in Golded...

    Bye, Wilfred.

    I use putty from windows, but in Midnight Commander for example, all function key work just fine. I guess it's not the terminal settings then?

    I didn't know about Alt-A, thanks! That seems to work in my putty-golded combo :)

    Maybe. But putty has lots of settings regarding the terminal/keyboard, you can play arround with...
