I can't answer Your particular questions for a better terminal emulator - but frequently work with xterm on several U*x systems without problems. Since Xterm is running under X11, just set the X11 keymaps to Your taste: use xev to see which keycodes are produced by the keys , then use xmodmap to make the window manager produce the right keys. Example: my xmodmap file for a HP station/keyboard looks: keycode 127 = KP_F1 Num_Lock keycode 128 = KP_F2 KP_Divide keycode 135 = KP_F3 KP_Multiply keycode 141 = KP_F4 KP_Subtract keycode 133 = KP_Separator keycode 122 = KP_Decimal keycode 96 = Help Print keycode 104 = Menu Scroll_Lock keycode 107 = KP_Subtract Pause -- This message does not represent the policies of the Max-Planck-Institute.
