Now after a few X windows upgrades, alt-o gives an "I" with two dots above it (0xEF, LATIN SMALL LETTER I WITH DIAERESIS) UTF-8 locale i guess. On the linux console it gives ESC-o (0x1b6f) How can i get mc to work in a utf-8 X setup?man xterm (see eightBitInput, metaSendsEscape, altSendsEscape)Specifically, it is altSendsEscape that needs to be set. This can be done most easily by creating a file in your home directory which is called..Xdefaults and in it you put the contents XTerm*metaSendsEscape: true
one of those (altSendsEscape or metaSendsEscape), depending on how your keyboard and xmodmap are setup. -- Thomas E. Dickey http://invisible-island.net ftp://invisible-island.net
