RE: Proposed syntax for key sequences

[Pavel Roskin <proski gnu org>]

Hello!

P.S. to the previous message: the modifier is now a part of the keycode.
get_modifier() is now static - nobody outside key.c should use it.
That's a good thing because both X11 and the Linux ioctl return the state
after the keypress.  We should read the state before it changes.

Just tell me what sequences those keys generate.  You can run dd without
arguments and press those keys.  I checked the latest putty release with
the current Wine, and Ctrl-arrows generate the same sequences as the
corresponding Shift-arrows in xterm.  For example, Ctrl-Left generates
"^[OD" (the ^[ is actually Escape).

I don't want to hardcode too many sequences, especially if they conflict
for different terminals with the same TERM=xterm.  Maybe Wine is doing
something wrong?  What sequences do you get?

Same to you.
