F17 in Konsole

[Paul Lemmons]

Just because it is possible that I am not the only one to run into this
and this group is searchable... I found a solution:

First I cd'ed to /usr/share/apps/konsole.
There, I copied vt440pc.keytab to vt220pc.keytab

I updated the new vt220pckeytab to look the text below. Then I went into
the Konsole settings and updated the "shell" configuration to use the
new keytable and set the TERM variable to vt220. Everything, so far,
works as it should.

Thanks for all of the pointers!

BTW: a good page with all of the escape sequences documents can be found
at: http://aperiodic.net/phil/archives/Geekery/term-function-keys.html


################# IMPORTANT NOTICE #############################
# the key bindings (Kcontrol -> look and feel -> keybindgs)

keyboard "VT220PC"

# --------------------------------------------------------------
#
# This configuration table allows to customize the
# meaning of the keys.
#
# The syntax is that each entry has the form :
#
#   "key" Keyname { ("+"|"-") Modename } ":" (String|Operation)
#
# Keynames are those defined in <qnamespace.h> with the
# "Qt::Key_" removed. (We'd better insert the list here)
#
# Mode names are :
#
# - Shift
# - Alt
# - Control
#
#   The VT100 emulation has two modes that can affect the
#   sequences emitted by certain keys. These modes are
#   under control of the client program.
#
# - Newline     : effects Return and Enter key.
# - Application : effects Up and Down key.
#
# - Ansi        : effects Up and Down key (This is for VT52, really).
#
# Operations are
#
# - scrollUpLine
# - scrollUpPage
# - scrollDownLine
# - scrollDownPage
#
# - emitSelection
#
# If the key is not found here, the text of the
# key event as provided by QT is emitted, possibly
# preceeded by ESC if the Alt key is pressed.
#
