Okay, slowly getting somewhere, I think...
We setup the .Xdefaults file, as follows, on the remote server and are
starting an xterm to the client machine, which is "acceptable", but I must
be missing something:
XTerm*vt100*translations: #override \n\
Shift <KeyPress> F1:string(0x1B) string(0x5B) string(0x33) string(0x33) string(0x7E)\n\
<KeyPress> F1:string(0x1B) string(0x4F) string(0x50)\n\
Shift <KeyPress> F5:string(0x1B) string(0x5B) string(0x33) string(0x35) string(0x7E)\n\
<KeyPress> F5:string(0x1B) string(0x5B) string(0x31) string(0x36) string(0x7E)\n
Now, when I press 'Shift F5', I get [35~ showing up on the app, but its as if
the ESC didn't go through...
Is there a better way I should be writing this? I'm going by the example it
showed for sending "multiple characters", but there might be another function
I should be using for this?
The neat thing is that the F5 one worked fine, its only the 'Shift F5' one so
far that isn't...
Thanks...
