Ok, but that's toswin, I meant the kernel. As long as cursor keys don't work
in the standard VT52-console, I wouldn't look any other place.
Indeed, I discovered a lot of other things in the kernel and elsewhere. Just
wait a few minutes for my next message.
About Application Mode, I found the following information:
http://homes.mpimf-heidelberg.mpg.de/~rohm/computing/mpimf/notes/terminal.html
ftp://ftp.cs.utk.edu/pub/shuford/terminal/vt100_numeric_keypad.txt
It seems that "modern" terminals can work either in:
- Normal mode: Standard arrow and numpad escape sequences
- Application mode: Above keys generate extended function key codes
It seems that the application mode was useful for antique applications with
need for a lot of function keys, without arrows or keypad.
From what I saw on Linux, application mode is usually a cause of trouble.
vim enables the application mode, and handles it properly.
This works fine with Linux and FreeMiNT.
