Does anyone have the proper termcap entry updates to make vi
work in a cmdtool?
Also, has anyone mapped the function keys to emulate a
sun keyboard (you know, Stop, Cut, Paste, Copy, Open, etc...)
I made sure I got a keyboard with function keys across the
top and side just for this purpose
Yes, I'll admit I'm lazy, but I don't want to reinvent the wheel.
Thanks for any responses,
Brian Olsen

I give the following file to xmodmap to get the specified Sun function keys. I usedQuote:> Also, has anyone mapped the function keys to emulate a

1. Mapping keys other than the function keys
The main reason I have Linux installed at home, is to give me the capability
to take my work (UNIX application development) home.
At work, I have access to several types of UNIX platforms, and exclusivly use
vi. Under these enviroments, I map vi to use the keypad for special functions:
- Save, Quit, Next File.
- Cut and paste to named buffers.
- Read in module, function templates
I would like to have the same functionality at home. The keyboard map under
Linux only provides the ability to program the function keys.
Does anyone know how I can simulate a DEC style keyboard or program keys
other that the function key?
This would also be handy when I get a modem, and use the machines at
work via telnet.
Will I have to resort to altering the source code?
Thank you
