Hi, does anyone know how to set correct keybinding for dtterm when using zsh. I have a problem with backspace not deleting, arrow keys not working etc. Or even better, does anyone know how to make zsh behave nicely on dtterm/hp.
To fix your delete key problem, you should use the 'stty erase' setting. Type 'stty erase ' then the delete key, then enter. This should fix the problem.
Check your TERM variable and see if it is set correctly. You will also need to the appropropriate terminfo database. Default on many systems is to install a compact terminfo database supporting VT100, XTERM, and possibly a few other servers. You may have to install an extended terminfo package.
stty erase ^H -> deletes the prev character with delete but the cursor doesnt move leftwards.
When I write : export TERM=dtterm or any other terminal name I get errormsg: zsh: can't find terminal definition for dtterm
I know for sure however that during this last operation zsh opens and reads the file /usr/share/lib/terminfo/d/dtterm. It just seems it cant correctly interpret it. Also ksh, and bash works correctly on the same terminal.
Found out it is a bug in the 11.00 binary distribution. To make zsh work correctly compile the source with the directtive LDFLAGS='-lHcurses' in the Makefile.
ie. ./configure vi Makefile. search for LDFLAGS make make install
