I was hungry. :) By default the keyboard mappings don't treat the ALT key as a special key. ALT-F sends 'f'. If you were expecting ESC-'f', change your keyboard mapping for the left-ALT key (scandoce 056) from 'lalt' to 'meta'. That'll make it send an escape character in front of the letter. If you were expecting æ (an 'f' with the high bit set), go down the "ALT" column on your keymap file and set the high bit on all the characters. (run "kbdcontrol -d" to dump the current keymap. run "kbdcontrol -l mapfile" to load a modified one) -Dan Nelson dnelson@emsphone.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
