Default TERM setting. +konsole | xterm | Default TERM setting. + +See also the TERMINALS section of bed's man page. + +Two quick things to test, the first time you start up bed: + +F7 and F8 should switch between Ascii and Digit-Hex input modes in the +status bar at the bottom of the screen. If they don't, try running bed as +'TERM=rxvt bed' or 'TERM=xterm-color bed'. If this works, you can define +it as a shell alias in e.g. ~/.bash_profile. If you're launching bed +from the KDE or XFCE start menu, you can likely force TERM from within +bed's config file (~/.bedrc or /usr/lib64/bed-3.0.0/bedrc). + +Alt-X should exit the program. If it doesn't (if it does nothing, or does +some other function like moving the cursor), try pressing Escape followed +by X. If this works, you can either use Escape instead of the Alt key for +all "Meta" commands, or else reconfigure your terminal. In xterm, this +can be done with the ctrl-leftclick menu (enable "Meta Sends Escape"), +or set xterm's metaSendsEscape and/or altSendsEscape resources to 'true' +in ~/.Xdefaults. + +It should be possible to define a set of keybinds for bed that work with +any terminal and TERM, with "bed -k ~/.bedrc". No, I don't know what a +"stab" key is, either (just pick an otherwise-unused keystroke for it). +I also don't know why it asks you to press the various keys in a seemingly +random order... but it does work. |
