Collier) Organization: University of Canterbury, Christchurch, New Zealand Lines: 30 Keywords: termcap, curses Xref: mnetor comp.sources.d:948 comp.emacs:1335 Some terminal emulators automatically send Xoff/Xon pairs when local actions - such as a menu seletion to re-define mouse-click interpretation - are invoked. This is clearly undesirable in emacs, but may be necessary elsewhere. If the terminal/emulator has a flow control disabling sequence, GNU-emacs users may find the following ".emacs" entries of use: (send-string-to-terminal "") (defun t925-suspend nil (interactive) (send-string-to-terminal "") (suspend-emacs) (send-string-to-terminal "") ) (defun t925-kill nil (interactive) (send-string-to-terminal "") (save-buffers-kill-emacs) ) (global-set-key "\C-x\C-z" 't925-suspend) (global-set-key "\C-x\C-c" 't925-kill) [No flames if there's an easier way, please; I am not a regular emacs user] BTW is it my imagination, or does GNU-emacs (v17.64) not know the difference between the "in" and "im" insert-mode styles for 4.3BSD termcap? Having gone to some trouble to add "im" to my pet terminal emulator, I now find I must disable the termcap entry for emacs's pleasure. What gives? ------------------------- James Collier (james@cantuar.uucp / {watmath,munnari,mcvax}!cantuar!james Computer Science Dept., University of Canterbury, Christchurch, New Zealand.
