[comp.windows.x] PF1-PF4 in xterm?

alan@cogswell.Jpl.Nasa.Gov (Alan S. Mazer) (09/20/90)

Can someone out there tell me how to get PF1 to PF4 in xterm?  It looks from
the documentation like it might be possible, but I sure can't find it.
Thanks.

Here is a simple example, which has PF1 insert ESC O P and PF2 insert
ESC O Q.  You can take it from here yourself.  Add the following lines
to your .Xresources file and re-run xrdb.

Notes:
Changing this resource will not affect an xterm that is already running.
The \033 representation does not work in pre-R4 xterm.

XTerm*VT100*Translations: #override\
   <Key>KP_F1:string("\033OP")\n\
   <Key>KP_F2:string("\033OQ")

Thanks a lot!  There's still a lot about X that I don't understand, but seeing
this example helps.  It even worked!
