 Posted: Fri Jun 22, 2007 2:28 pm Post subject: [SOLVED] Vim doesn't recognize any more the CTRL key... |
 |
|
Hi.
I have a problem... some times ago, I updated my system and now I can't use the CTRL+ARROWS keys to move from word to word inside gnome-terminal or xterm.
Instead, when hitting CTRL+LEFT I get a D, and hitting CTRL+RIGHT, I get a C.
I don't know from where can the source of the problem be, because it works fine Eterm and aterm.
Any ideas from where the problem come and how to solve it?
Thanks for your help.

I had a problem with Gnome and folders not working after the last update. One of the libraries developed a problem.
Running revdep-rebuild (in Gentoolkit) fixed it for me. |

Thanks for the answer, but I've already tried it and it solved nothing (re-emerge just sun-jdk and gcc) 
I found a topic on the ubuntu forums, but it didn't provide any solution. (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/vte/+bug/89660) |

Same problem here; and the problem now is everywhere in console: in gnome-terminal, in xterm, in vim
Anybody has an idea? (seems totally unrelated to the ubuntu forums problem)

I took a long time looking for more informations on this topic, and it seems to be related to vte (I have the 0.16.5 version).
Hence is this a bug in vte ? |

Same version I have -- but it's a Gnome terminal widget as described; although belongs to x11-libs package group; which could explain why even my xterm behaves like that.
Can you issue a bug on vte then? Really annoying problem

Unfortunately, this topice doesn't seem to interest a lot of people...
I spent hours looking for solutions on google, but I found nothing...
Any idea's welcome!
Don't you find it disturbing ?!?  |

I updated my system and a new version of vte is available (0.16.6)... but the problem remains... is the problem really from vte?
Hope this nasty bug will soon be corrected!!
Thanks for your solutions... |

Have a look at this bug on b.g(entoo).o. Also, as I mentioned in that bug report, the patch from this bug's comment #12 on b.g(nome).o should fix the issue.
Also, please note that this bug does *not* show up in xterm for me.

Thanks a lot!! You saved me!!
Just added the next lines to /etc/inputrc:
| Code: | "\e[1;5C": forward-word
"\e[1;5D": backward-word |
Now it works for gnome-terminal and xterm!
But the problem remains for vim... when I do a CTRL+left I get a new line above the current one with the letters "1;5D" ("1;5C with CTRL+right") and I'm switched to insert mode... |

Wonderful, you fixed my problem, I will fix your remaining one :))
I have patched vte-0.16.5 with vte-cursor-modifers-to-csi-patch
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/attachment.cgi?id=87843&action=view with the following steps:
| Code: | ebuild /usr/portage/x11-libs/vte/vte-0.16.5.ebuild unpack
cd /var/tmp/portage/x11-libs/vte-0.16.5/work/vte-0.16.5
wget -Ovte-cursor-modifers-to-csi-patch http://bugzilla.gnome.org/attachment.cgi?id=87843&action=view
patch -p0 <vte-cursor-modifers-to-csi-patch
ebuild /usr/portage/x11-libs/vte/vte-0.16.5.ebuild merge
ebuild /usr/portage/x11-libs/vte/vte-0.16.5.ebuild clean
|
I think the same can be done to 0.16.6 version, just replace the digit ;)
And after this my gnome-terminal still did not work, although vim worked (your problem) ;)
And thanks for your solution for inputrc, now I have all my system back to normal, and will be masking vte off till this wonderful patch gets injected

Ok, this time the vte (gnome-terminal) bug hit the stable Gentoo and it appears that still nobody'd fixed it.
put these things in your /etc/inputrc next to gnome-terminal section about (escape + arrow key)
"\e[1;5C": forward-word
"\e[1;5D": backward-word
guys, it's just a two lines in /etc, please include the correction in your vte ebuilds
Updating that bug as well (http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=178793) -- looks like that one did not even have the solution for bash, gnome-terminal etc
Thanks

C'mon, guys, my baselayout's just gotten updated today to 1.12.9-r2, and /etc/inputrc again got dispatch-conf`ed to the one _without_ essential lines
| Code: | "\e[1;5C": forward-word
"\e[1;5D": backward-word |
So when are you going to inject this thing into portage? Bug http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=178793 updated with the same info
Thanks ;)
