I've got an application which uses the vt100 keypad running on VMS
that I need to maintain on 386ix using at 84 key PC/AT keyboard. (it's an
old keyboard, I like being able to switch virtual console using one hand
and ALT-F?).
I'm using curses and have been able to 'portably' get the following
keypad keys: 1,2,3,4,6,7,8,9. Curses maps these to the tokens:
KEY_{END,DOWN,NPAGE,LEFT,RIGHT,HOME,UP,PPAGE}, but I can not figuure out how
I should 'portably' get to: SYSREQ, KP0, KP+, KP-.
Reading the curses keypad section was not too much help. It looks like
I'll have to define these keys as something they are not (i.e. kdl1 delete line)
in the terminfo file, and then have my application know about these wierd
mappings. This would work for the console, but how do I allow someone to dial
in and use a vt100 compatible terminal without hacking each terminfo they
might use?
Can someone point me to an application which works around this problem?
thanks
