I used xev to get the TAB keys info:
KeyRelease event, serial 24, synthetic NO, window 0xc00001,
root 0x34, subw 0x0, time 779723411, (100,141), root:(1203,954),
state 0x0, keycode 23 (keysym 0xff09, Tab), same_screen YES,
XLookupString gives 1 characters: " "
I tried using strace, but the TAB key did not work the way it does
normally. When using strace, TAB inserts 8 spaces rather than
attempting to autocomplete.
Any thoughts?
Anthony
