my THE key mapping

This is my current map on Linux with a Manhattan TrueTouch keyboard. My old Alpha LK map as well as my last Linux Logitech maps are elsewhere.

Legenda

For each key there is a cell with three lines :

the top lines on default background shows the key label on my Logitech keyboard
the second line is the Xcurses THE assignment, with the key name as given by SHOWKEY and the function assigned to it. This appears in red on yellow.
the third line is the curses THE assignment (in black on cyan).
if the key is dead it appears with black background.
if the key is not assigned it appears with gray bacgkround.

In addition arrow keys are defined as follows (modifiers work only in X11) : The control modifiers appear not to work.

Arrow normal shifted control alt

Down Escreen DOWN

Left Screen LEFT LEFT HALF macro larrow Escreen LEFT

Right Screen RIGHT RIGHT HALF macro rarrow Escreen RIGHT

Arrow	normal	shifted	control	alt
Up	Escreen UP
Down	Escreen DOWN
Left	Screen LEFT	LEFT HALF	macro larrow	Escreen LEFT
Right	Screen RIGHT	RIGHT HALF	macro rarrow	Escreen RIGHT

Normal keypad

Only two non-alphanumeric keys are normally in use. The other prefix keys can in principle be assigned to individual functions, but it makes no much sense.

Control sequences

Sequences with ALT are not assigned (inactive in terminal)
Sequences with CONTROL are almost all assigned, however in terminal the following are not available as they interfere with stty : control-O, Q, S and V.

We list in green our own assignment and with no background untouched THE defaults.
