Shift+F7 not working #606

Closed gdalex closed 3 years ago

gdalex commented 6 years ago

Hello,

I use mc to browse and edit files. When editing, F7 allows to me to search for a text. Shift+F7 goes to the next match.

I've noticed that in Termite, Shift+F7 does not work. Using gnome-terminal, Shift+F7 works fine.

Is Termite intercepting the Shift+F keys? If so, how can I change that?

Thanks George

I just realized that the functions are shifted to the left by 2. Ex: in gnome-terminal in termite shift+f7 = shift+f5 shift+f4 = shift+f2 etc

I really don't think so.

However, it sets $TERM to a different value, and ships its own corresponding terminfo entry xterm-termite. I guess that's the culprit.

Hi egmontkob, you're right. Changing TERM to xterm-256color fixed the problem. Do you know if there's a way to instruct termite to use xterm-256color for TERM?

Hello, I have a quite similar problem on termite when using midnight commander. Actually, pressing Shift+F6 do the wrong key combination. Even after using TERM with "xterm-termite".
