As I am using a German keyboard, some characters (I am talking about pipe (|) and tilde (~) in particular) are only available in combination with the right Alt key (that is AltGr on a German keyboard). Unfortunately, that does not work in Terminal.app or I am doing something wrong. And as those characters have a very special meaning in a shell I cannot reasonably use Terminal.app. Anyone out there who can halp me?If you're using the default key bindings for GNUstep, GNUstep will treat the right alt key as 'alternate'. Thus, Terminal.app sees eg. '|' as alternate-'|'. You can use GSTest.app's keyboard input test to see this. The solution is to not use the right alt key as both Mode_switch (for X) and alternate (for GNUstep). The GS{First,Second}{Alternate,Command,Control}Key default keys control this, and you can use Preferences.app to change them. (I use my right alt key as Mode_switch, my left alt key as alternate, and have command mapped to another key.)Andreas Heppel wrote: - Alexander MalmbergThanks. This kind of works. I say 'kind of' because every time I hit the right Alt key, now, it beeps, which is absolutely annoying. If I start Terminal from an xterm I can see the message 'KeySym No Symbol not found; disabling GSSecondAlternateKey' the first time I hit a key. What is the meaning of that? Another question. Where do I find GSTest.app?
I already found GSTest.app. Still I do get the beeps in Terminal, which I can get rif off by modifying Teminal's souces. Bat that is actually not a solution. I found out that the beep comes from method _sendString: in TerminalView. I am sure we don't need the beep here, do we? One other thing I'd like to know is what those different keys are for in GNUstep. I know what to make of 'First Command' key, but what do I need the rest for? Can someone shed some light on this or give me a hint on which FM I have missed to read?
