OZ 3.5.4 collie
I upgraded to 3.5.4, and now from the non graphical run level I can't get ctrl-c or ctrl-z to work anymore. I used to be able to press fn-z for ctrl-z and fn-shift-c (i think it was) for ctrl-c. If I run console from inside of opie, fn-z and fn-c work, but in a console in gpe they don't.
What am I supposed to do if I do something like type 'ping' and accidentally leave off the -c? I've been flipping the reset switch in the back, but there must be a better way.
[edit] there is no -c in busybox ping, so that really screws that. btw ping is just an example of something i'm used to using ctrl-c with ... theres also 'top' and many more. also, if i type something in and i change my mind, i like to press ctrl-c to get a fresh line quickly.

There's a little 'x' in the top right corner that you can click to close the terminal in GPE.

Seriously, though, can't we bring back the keymap from the last version? I like ctrl-c and ctrl-z!
I just thought of another reason why I want control keys: for micro-emacs. It is pretty useless without them.
Another reason is ctrl-a and ctrl-e on the command line.

feel free to install 'keymaps' package and edit keymap to have it working just like you want.

Ok, thanks, I will do that, but don't you think most people would want control keys? Shouldn't this be set up this way in the typical installation?

Edit keymap, send us changes, we will add them as default, you will get credit.

I want to get a better keymap too. Perhaps BeKind and I can synchronize our work.
One question: where is there a reference for the names of control keys and for such stuff as cut, past, copy, pageup, etc?

Here is my collie keymap the callendar key is now the control key:
to be stored in:
/etc/X11/collie.xmodmap
keycode 41 = F11
keycode 97 = F16
keycode 48 = F13
keycode 98 = F14
!keycode 117 = XF86PowerDown
keycode 42 = Escape
keycode 97 = telephone
keycode 48 = XF86Start
keycode 98 = XF86Mail
Hope this helps,

Nice.
I think I'm going to try to make one that uses fn+left shift as the control key. In some applications like opie-console it's set up this way. Does anyone know how I can copy that so it works the same way if i use the vt terminal?
Thanks
