I hacked this yesterday in the evening so I can as well post my config
here. I also contacted the xemacs maintainer about this but no answer
either.
I fixed the home/end problem by adding this in my .emacs file :
;; better xterm support
(defun xterm-setup-hook ()
(define-key function-key-map "\e[1~" [home])
(define-key function-key-map "\e[4~" [end]))
(setq term-setup-hook 'xterm-setup-hook)
We have to do this because the terminal definition in
/usr/lib/xemacs-21.1.8/lisp/term/xterm.elc is apparently wrong - it
defines [find] instead of [home] and [select] instead of [end].
To get the delete key to work as it should, I also have to add :
;; delete key
(setq delete-key-deletes-forward t)
I still have another problem with xemacs running in a text VT. when I
exit, I get a "blinking block" cursor instead of the usual "blinking
underline". I dont know why xemacs changes my cursor size and how to avoid
it - if you happen to know this, please tell me :) This is on a current
potato system.
