Full Discussion: vi Replace vs Input
Top Forums UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers vi Replace vs Input Post 1333 by mib on Monday 26th of February 2001 06:19:20 AM

either you are using vi over a slow connection or vi doesn't understand the key sequence that your keyboard is generating.

If you are working over a slow connection, you can try to set timeout or ttimeout. These options, combined with timeoutlen and ttimeoutlen, may fix the problem. Do ":h timeout" and ":h timeoutlen" from vi for a better description on how to use them.

The preceding procedure will not work correctly if your terminal sends key codes that vi does not understand. In this situation, your best option is to map your key sequence to a matching cursor movement command and save these mappings in a file called ".exrc" under your home directory. All the commands in there will be read when vi starts up.


type ":h .exrc" and ":h map" from vi for more info.

xkbgetkeyvirtualmodmap

XkbGetKeyVirtualModMap(3)					   XKB FUNCTIONS					 XkbGetKeyVirtualModMap(3)

NAME

       XkbGetKeyVirtualModMap - Obtain the virtual modifier map (the vmodmap array) for a subset of the keys in a keyboard description

SYNOPSIS

       Status XkbGetKeyVirtualModMap ( dpy, first, num, xkb )
	     Display * dpy;
	     unsigned int first;
	     unsigned int num;
	     XkbDescPtr xkb;

ARGUMENTS

       - dpy  connection to server

       - first
	      keycode of first key to fetch

       - num  number of keys for which virtual mod maps are desired

       - xkb  Xkb description where results will be placed

DESCRIPTION

       XkbGetKeyVirutalModmap sends a request to the server to obtain the virtual modifier mappings for num keys on the keyboard starting with key
       first.  It waits for a reply and returns the virtual modifier mappings in the server->vmodmap array of xkb.  If	successful,  XkbGetKeyVir-
       tualModMap returns Success. The xkb parameter must be a pointer to a valid Xkb keyboard description.

       If  the	server	map  in the xkb parameter has not been allocated, XkbGetKeyVirtualModMap allocates and initializes it before obtaining the
       virtual modifier mappings.

       If the server does not have a compatible version of Xkb, or the Xkb extension has not  been  properly  initialized,  XkbGetKeyVirtualModMap
       returns	BadMatch.  If num is less than 1 or greater than XkbMaxKeyCount, XkbGetKeyVirtualModMap returns BadValue. If any allocation errors
       occur, XkbGetKeyVirtualModMap returns BadAlloc.

RETURN VALUES

       Success	      The XkbGetKeyVirutalModmap function returns Success following a successful reply from the server to obtain the virtual modi-
		      fier mappings for num keys on the keyboard starting with key first.

DIAGNOSTICS

       BadAlloc       Unable to allocate storage

       BadMatch       A  compatible  version  of  Xkb  was not available in the server or an argument has correct type and range, but is otherwise
		      invalid

       BadValue       An argument is out of range
