showkey -m gives you the keymap-translated characters. Using showkey -k gives you the actual key codes: Up = 103 Down = 108 Left = 105 Right = 106 Cheers, Matthew Alex Charrett <Alex.Charrett@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> on 15/06/2001 10:21:51 Please respond to list@xxxxxxxxxxxx To: "'list@xxxxxxxxxxxx'" <list@xxxxxxxxxxxx> cc: Subject: RE: [LUG] not specifically linux related but... > I never got Octal, but I think that means 10/11/12/13 (in decimal) I got those numbers using vi. going into insert mode, enabling the insertion of ctrl chars by doing ^V.

Its got to be worth trying those values out hasn't it? > But I cant offer any more help, aside from "showkey -m" > reports a cursor press as 3 different keys.
