Stupid Question...keymappings?
I recently helped a friend resurrect an old machine with Debian :-).
There is one little thing that annoyed me, and will annoy him, the more
he learns. The keymappings that I am used to don't always seem to
work. For instance with a 'man man,' I couldn't use the vi(m) like
keybindings for movement. Return was the only way to scroll down, and
backspace wouldn't even scroll up. And if I did a search, it wouldn't
highlight the results. If I searched for anything it couldn't find it
just dropped me back to the shell. Certain things, like the backspace
not scrolling up, happen in other apps like slrn. I vaguely remember
this when I first set up my box running Sid. But very early on in my
apting/configuring it "automagically" went away. I have run into this
again with my Progeny setup. Other than these problems, the
keymappings are working fine. I'm just not sure which package, or
config I need to play with 8^). Any help or where I can RTFM greatly
appreciated.
TIA,
jt
PS Does anyone else have any problems with Kmail/Knode not threading
properly? I would like to say it is only with my ISP (road runner),
but I don't get enough traffic any other place to be sure. But knode
seems to thread perfectly on other news servers.
