Re: [Help-nano] numlock probs since v1.0.x

[Vincent . Raffensberger]

I had tested with 1.3.2 before.  The numlock row does function as F1-F4.
I checked out the cvs this morning at 11:00 and got slightly different 
results with that build.
That version was 1.3.2-cvs
The numlock row still acted like F1-F4.  0-4 keys did nothing.  4-9 keys 
were still "^M" "^N" "^O" "^Q" "^R" "^H".

Let me know if you want me to try or test anything else.  I've been using 
this since it was tip and am glad to get the chance to help out.

Re: [Help-nano] numlock probs since v1.0.x






I know this has already been solved for 1.2, but I'd like to see if 
there's a way to fix it to work (or at least work better than it does 
now) with 1.3 too.

I've been looking into this, and according to what I've found out, the 
VT100 keypad is laid out like this:

   _____________________
  | F1 | F2 | F3 | F4   |
  |    |    |    |      |
  |____|____|____|______|
  | 7  | 8  | 9  | -    |
  |    |    |    |      |
  |____|____|____|______|
  | 4  | 5  | 6  | ,    |
  |    |    |    |      |
  |____|____|____|______|
  | 1  | 2  | 3  |      |
  |    |    |    | enter|
  |____|____|____|      |
  |    0    | .  |      |
  |         |    |      |
  |_________|____|______|

This is of course different from the PC's numeric keypad; NumLock is in 
F1's place, and so on.  Now if NumLock is getting mapped to F1, that 
would explain why it makes the help come up, so maybe the "/", "*", and 
"-" keys next to it are getting mapped to F2, F3, and F4.  Does "/" act 
like "Exit", "*" act like "WriteOut", and "-" act like "Justify"?

Which version of 1.3?  Current 1.3 CVS has a few changes in how the 
numeric keypad is handled.  Would you mind trying it out and letting me 
know if anything works properly?  Or, if you can't get CVS, it should be 
out as 1.3.3 soon, so would you mind trying it out then?  Thanks.
