Description ivan 2010-05-08 03:35:02 UTC
Or worse ... echo 'c' etc.

Note: this is _independent_ of whether the choice of Alt-C etc is
the appropriate choice for these accelerators as raised in
bug #182971 and bug #182968.

Note: There's an aditional reason why Alt-f does nothing.
Find functionality is just plain not ready.

xterm does nothing on Alt+C but echoes a symbol
Comment 4 Andrew Krasny 2012-10-25 06:08:06 UTC
And what is the expected behavior?

> And what is the expected behavior?

If you try Alt-e on xterm and such it won't get echoed.

There was a time when we were considering using Alt this and 
that for accelerators. If that were the case then someone would
eat the keyboard event before Term would see it and there would
be no problem. But I think as I was playing with it I noticed the 
fact that Alt-e echoes e when it really shouldn't.

We eventually decided not to use Alt for accelerators so this
is now a minor issue IMO.

Hm, I get it echoed in xterm. 
Alt-e, Alt-c are echoed (I'm on sol10x86).
Well, it is not true for gnome-terminal.
So, maybe it is not a bug at all? Is there any standard that specifies a behavior?
Comment 7 ivan 2012-10-25 20:20:56 UTC
And now that I think of it echoing stuff is part of the line
discipline (how the pty's are configured) not the terminal emulator.
So I guess we can close this.
