Re: [STUMP] Move cursor by character

[David Bjergaard]

Hi Dany,

Can you be specific about where you expect these bindings to be respected? It
sounds like you would like them in GTK dialogs (if your using a gnome-based
application) or Qt dialogs for KDE. In that case you want to set their
environment variables as appropriate since StumpWM doesn't have any say over
their input.  

See here:

Sincerely,

    David
