As reported earlier, I have been using CTWM ini Fedora 32. Most things work but I have been having problems never previously encountered: in my text editor not all the function keys work properly: Some of them generate no text input, in an xterm window if I am running ctwm. If instead of using ctwm I run the xfce window manager then if run xterm, the function keys work as expected: they generate input characters. In more detail: If I boot to level 3 and run a text editor without a window manager, the function keys work as expected: In plain text mode (level 3), without a window manager: Key pressed: F1 F2 F3 F4 F5 F6 F7 F8 F9 F10 F11 F12 input characters generated (\^[ = ESC) \^[[[A \^[[[B \^[[[C \^[[[D \^[[[E \^[[17~ \^[[18~ \^[[19~ \^[[20~ \^[[21~ \^[[23~ \^[[24~ If run in full graphic mode (Level 5), with ctwm as window manager: Key pressed: F1 F2 F3 F4 F5 F6 F7 F8 F9 F10 F11 F12 input characters generated (\^[ = ESC) \^[OP \^[OQ \^[OS \^[[18~ \^[[19~ \^[[20~ \^[[21~ Note that keys F3 F11 and F12 have no effect. However, if I boot to level 5 with the default XFCE window manager, i.e. no ctwn, then, in an xterm window, the function keys produce these character sequences, which are easily mapped on to functions; F1 F2 F3 F4 F5 F6 F7 F8 F9 F10 F11 F12 \^[OP \^[OQ \^[OR \^[OS \^[[15~ \^[[17~ \^[[18~ \^[[19~ \^[[20~ \^[[21~ \^[[23~ \^[[24~ What could cause keys F3 F4 F6 F11 and F12 to fail to function normally when ctwm is running, but not when the xfce window manager is runing? Can I do anything about this, or do I simply have to complain to Fedora developers? Any ideas? Thanks. Aaron Sloman http://www.cs.bham.ac.uk/~axs
