Expect script for Del key under pico/pine.
Hi all,
I am using the folowing method to correct the work of the keys
backspace and delete under pine/pico:
[latt-s:~] > alias |grep pico
pico /home/danieldf/bin/pico-pine.fix pico -e -k
pine /home/danieldf/bin/pico-pine.fix pine
[latt-s:~] > cat bin/pico-pine.fix
#!/etc/alternatives/expect
eval spawn -noecho $argv
interact {
\177 {send "\008"}
"\033\[3~" {send "\004"} }
# Now
# picofix pico
# should work (then you can make an alias or a wrapper).
The problem is that if I call pico just as above "pico -e -k" the expect
script "hangs" and I cannot start pico properly. (Note: pine is working
just fine ;)
I already tried to fix this by performing some minor changes to the
script (related to the argv variable), but I had no success (I believe that
mainly because I don't know enough exect for that... ;)
Any hints?!
Daniel.
