[git.next] Key Bindings revisited

flur@gt-eedsp.UUCP (Peter W. Flur) (04/11/89)

Hello again folks.  I posted a while back about the possibility
of making the terminal windows on the next look more like those
in suntools.  Unfortunately, I haven't heard anything.  I'm still
looking for hints/solutions if anyone has them.

Second, and a more current issue,  within emacs on the next, it would
be real nice if we could use the arrow keys on the keyboard.  We thought
of the obvious... key bindings in emacs.  However, emacs thinks of those
keys as things like '.', '-', ',', etc.  which makes typing ordinary
text interesting to say the least.  Does anyone have any ideas as to how
to circumvent this problem, maybe with a termcap entry or a smart bind...?

Thanks in advance...
Peter
