- from the tty-2 branch, I have merged the first commit:

4c000ea6 make arrow keys and pageup/down work in the tty backend

I would like to merge the following commit, but I couldn't find the osicat    changes required:     346d8fa4 don't allow C-y to generate a SIGTSTP

That's

commit 451bf6fa993ae74eb56aff80d40050111d7f19f4 Author: Nikodemus Siivola nikodemus@random-state.net Date: Tue Dec 22 18:49:19 2009 +0200

add VDSUSP to termios constants

which is in the Osicat main repo -- so I've pushed the SIGSTP fix to Hemlock.

However, I have not yet merged the other two: 57c160ff (distinct Backspace    and C-h in terminal) and 08f68169 (get rid of the arraw-key kludge).

The reason is that I'd like to work on the Backspace/Delete some    more.  (I'd like to keep keybindings so that C-h is equivalent to    backspace -- by default anyway.  But I agree that distinct physical    keys shouldn't be conflated on the lowest level of key event    processing already.)

Attached a cleaned-up patch that combines the essential parts of those commits.

With this patch TTY matches more closely with the other backends: even without this in CLX Hemlock C-h and Backspace are distinct -- but our keybindings are (mostly, at least) set up to treat them as identical.

Cheers,
