[comp.windows.x] defining translation tables for text widgets in resource files

mlp) (09/06/88)

I am trying unsucessfully to modify the key bindings for the text widget.
I have copied the example in the athena text widget doc but I got a syntax
error from xrdb.  Does soemone have an example resource file with some
keybindings.  I am especially interested in defining the meanings of function
keys.  I would be grateful for any pointers.

The X11R2 Translation Manager did not support keysym names in
event details.  In the R2 Intrinsics, you must specify the
value of the keysym as a hexadecimal constant (from <X11/keysymdef.h>.

  e.g.                   <Key>Right:
  must be specified as   <Key>0xFF53

This has been fixed for the next release.
