Weird behaviour of alt / esc / ctrl + [ keys they send out number 4 possibly only with ConnectBot app. #248

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Install Hacker's keyboard and ConnectBot (ssh client app)
2. Connect to Your shell account and take over screen / irssi session
3. Try switching windows using alt + arrow or alt + number. 

What is the expected behavior? What do you see instead?

When alt + left arrow or right arrow is used You should be moving in increasing 
or decreasing order between windows in irssi and when alt + number is used You 
should be moved to the window which number was used. Instead of alt which 
should send escape key 4 is used. So if I press alt + 1 to change to window no. 
1 - I get 41 in the main chat... I thought... MAYBE this is the fault of the 
connectbot app BUT if you click on the connectbot's screen it allows you to 
send esc key and if you press the connectbot's esc + 1 = it moves you to window 
number 1 BUT if You press esc + 1 on Hacker's keyboard? It sends 41 again...

What version of Hacker's Keyboard are you using? (See "Debug" section at
the bottom of the app's Settings menu.)
On what phone or tablet?

HK 1.31.1311 065ed34b811c 2012-24
AV 2.3.3 Kernel 2.6.35.7
BN GRI40
MN m009f 7"

If applicable, does this affect the 4-row or 5-row layout, or both? Which
language(s)?

Please provide any additional information below.

Regards. Thanks in advance.

This is odd, I can't reproduce it. Do you have the "connectbot tab hack" 
setting switched on?

What's the operating system of the shell account you're using? Can you try the 
following?

At the shell prompt, run: od -c
Type the following keys in sequence: ESC 4 ENTER CTRL D

It should print the characters received, on my system this shows:
000000 033 4 \n

That's the expected output for an Escape character (octal 033) followed by the 
"4" digit.
