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 :

function keys numeric keypad special keypad normal keyboard control keys mouse action

Functional keys

1 row divided in 6 groups of 1/4/4/4/ 3/1 keys.

The last two groups (Windows specific keys) are inactive.

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
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.

key assignment in Xcurses assignment in curses
Backspace macro backspace macro backspace
S-Backspace as unshifted ! attention !! as unshifted ! attention !!
C-Backspace \505 macro backend macro backend
Return SOS DOPREFIX EXEC SOS DOPREFIX EXEC

Caps lock inactive inactive

Alt (left) unassigned inactive
Spacebar
Alt (right) unassigned inactive

Ctrl (right) unassigned inactive
Shift (right) unassigned inactive

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.

KeyControl Alt
A default
B macro blockcycle
C macro cutcopyblock copy
D macro deletechar
E sos delend
F default
G default
H default
I macro ithere
J default
K macro cutcopyblock append

R reset block
S save
T default unassigned
U macro pasteblock
V macro pasteblock
W get clip:
X macro cutcopyblock cut
Y default unassigned
Z default

Mouse sequences

I list only the possible changes with respect to the default, or the default when useful. And all only respect to the filearea.
