[Pkg-zsh-devel] [PATCH 0/6] Proposed changes to /etc/zsh/zshrc

[Frank Terbeck]

Hey list,

This series is pretty much a complete rewrite of the package's `zshrc'.

The fundamental change is to make zle put the terminal zsh is running in into
application mode while it (zle) is running. That is the *only* way to make sure
the values from `$terminfo' are valid.

No rewriting of values (`O' -> `[') from that hash anymore. (That was only
whishful thinking anyway and the right terminal would barf - and that not just
theoretical, I had that happening with a combination of xterm and tmux for no
good reason at all.)

Otherwise these are minor fixes and cleanups. Make sure to take a look at the
serie's commit messages for details.


I'm convinced, we do want the first 5 commits of this series. I'm undecided
about the last one. It's an attempt at a best effort at supporting
"<modifier>-<cursor-key>" bindings. The *correct* way would be to use the
values I'm trying to extract as S-Up, C-Up etc. into the `$key[]' hash. The
problem with that is that almost no terminal has those capabilities exposed in
their terminfo entry. `xterm' does. Most others don't. So if those entries are
empty, I'm binding a number of sequences other terminals use (which are often
the sequences xterm uses).

Anyway, comments welcome.


Regards, Frank
