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.

XkbGetKeyModifierMap(3) 					   XKB FUNCTIONS					   XkbGetKeyModifierMap(3)

NAME
XkbGetKeyModifierMap - Update the modifier map for one or more of the keys in a keyboard description SYNOPSIS
Status XkbGetKeyModifierMap (Display *dpy, unsigned int first, unsigned int num, XkbDescPtr xkb); ARGUMENTS
- dpy connection to X server - first keycode of first key to get - num number of keys for which information is desired - xkb keyboard description to update DESCRIPTION
The modmap entry of the client map is an array, indexed by keycode, specifying the real modifiers bound to a key. Each entry is a mask com- posed of a bitwise inclusive OR of the legal real modifiers: ShiftMask, LockMask, ControlMask, Mod1Mask, Mod2Mask, Mod3Mask, Mod4Mask, and Mod5Mask. If a bit is set in a modmap entry, the corresponding key is bound to that modifier. Pressing or releasing the key bound to a modifier changes the modifier set and unset state. The particular manner in which the modifier set and unset state changes is determined by the behavior and actions assigned to the key. XkbGetKeyModifierMap sends a request to the server for the modifier mappings for num keys starting with the key whose keycode is first. It waits for a reply and places the results in the xkb->map->modmap array. If successful, XkbGetKeyModifier returns Success. If the map component of the xkb parameter has not been allocated, XkbGetKeyModifierMap allocates and initializes it. If a compatible version of Xkb is not available in the server or the Xkb extension has not been properly initialized, XkbGetKeySyms returns BadAccess. If any allocation errors occur while obtaining the modifier map, XkbGetKeyModifierMap returns BadAlloc. DIAGNOSTICS
BadAccess The Xkb extension has not been properly initialized BadAlloc Unable to allocate storage X Version 11 libX11 1.5.0 XkbGetKeyModifierMap(3)
