Hi,

Can you please tell me in what environment do you want to create the key bind ? ( CDE ? ).

Ori,

I think jsilva wanted to know whether you are using a dumb terminal/shell session or if you have a GUI interface such as CDE or Gnome.

If you are using CDE/dt, you'll have to look at keyboard definitions as specified in /usr/dt/lib/bindings / xmbind.

Cheers,

Keith

key binding in the terminal

keith
if I understood correctly, then I am working under a gui (I am not sure it is cde, how can I find out?)
the file /usr/dt/lib/bindings/xmbind.alias exists and contains something like this:
!
! bindings alias file
!
! format:
! "<ServerVendor(display)>[<space><VendorRelease(display)>]" bindings_file
!
"Acorn Computers Ltd" acorn
"Apollo Computer Inc." apollo
"DECWINDOWS DigitalEquipmentCorp." dec
"DECWINDOWS DigitalEquipmentCorporation UWS2.2" dec
...

1. is this the right file for me?
2. where can I find the format for editing (binding keys)?
3. how do I invoke these bindigs?

P.S I am not an administrator (don't have admistrator access)
thanks
