Alt backspace doesn't work with `zsh`

[lenormf]

Hi,

I haven't investigated this issue, all I can say is that I'm using zsh with dvtm 0.15 and alt-backspace inserts a newline instead of doing a ^W.

Thanks.

Not only that, also when dvtm if first started in st the title reads dvtm and even though following is present in .zshrc title is never updated on command execution, after pressing alt-backspace though title is updated properly and continues to function as intended

.zshrc portion xtitle () { printf "\033]0;$1\007" } precmd () { xtitle "${PWD}" }

The issue is not limited to zsh/st. As alt-backspace doesn't work in linux console too, following crude hack does "fix" things for me:

diff --git a/dvtm.c b/dvtm.c index 434c0af..e8c1e65 100644 --- a/dvtm.c +++ b/dvtm.c @@ -881,7 +881,10 @@ keypress(int code) { if (is_content_visible(c)) { c->urgent = false; if (code == '\e')

• vt_write(c->term, buf, len);
• if (len == 2 && buf[1] == 7)
• vt_keypress(c->term, 037 & 'w');
• else
• vt_write(c->term, buf, len); else vt_keypress(c->term, code); }

You may need to edit the comment and add ``` before and after the diff to prevent github to mess it up.

Thanks. I already created local dvtm mirror earlier:

Nice. This patch makes sense to me: it could be a feature of dwm: converting alt-backspace to ctrl + w.

The st term converts Scroll up and Scroll down mouse events to Ctrl e and Ctrl y to scroll in vim and less.

Glad you liked it.

Hm... It probably needs some configuration (i.e. doesn't work out of the box for me here)

$ which st

You are right, it was the system one, probably with this config file.
