Author Looking for tcsh bug report #28959
Martin Godisch

2004-07-28, 6:23 pm

Hi,

Can anyone provide me bug report #28959 "meta keys in tcsh don't work
anymore!" (timeframe: Oct 1998--Jan 1999)?

If not: Can some of you try the package tcsh-kanji instead of tcsh, and
tell me whether there are any problems with it, like "meta keys don't
work anymore"?

Thank you! -- Martin

Original report (below the 'report now closed' blurb):

I guess that on master (somewhere beneath ~debian) you can find
archives of debian-bugs-dists where you can find the same messages.

Ah, thank you, I tried Google Web only.

They're not old enough.

Kind regards,

I'm tcsh-kanji user. When I hit ESC-p, I get
history-search-backwards. When I hit Alt-p (I guess it's equivalent
to Meta-p), the cursor key moves one character. I hit Alt-p twice, my
terminal kterm displays one Kanji character. I don't know it's bug or
not.

It depends on the terminal and on the locale settings. I get the same
behaviour using bash+xterm+finnish locales. Then i have to press esc to get
the alt- behaviour. Using konsole i get the right meta- behaviour.

I'm asking since this bug was the reason for the tcsh and tcsh-kanji
splitting. In the recent tcsh there are some problems with non-kanji
compilation, hence I try to find out whether we can compile tcsh with
kanji support (which is upstream default) and drop tcsh-kanji.

Note: None of these thoughts affect sarge.

Kind regards,

Martin
