Hoi, I've seen some confusing posts re the use of the Alt key in Jed on Linux. I'd very much like to use the Brief keybindings. Some say its not possible because the terminal doesn't allow the use of the Alt key, however, it seems to work just fine in Gnome Terminal (with menu access keys disabled): Alt-F brings up the File menu as expected. Any ideas?
It seems that the Alt-key combinations work on yor terminal. In jed the Alt-key combinations are converted into a keysequence beginning with ESC: when you press Alt-F jed converts that to "Esc f" and processes it. If you press Esc then f, you achieve the same result. Before using BRIEF you have to verify if the keys F1-F10 work and also if the numeric keypad returns any valid keysequences. You can find an enhanced BRIEF mode at JMR: http://jedmodes.sourceforge.net/mode/brief/ you will also need x-keydefs: http://jedmodes.sourceforge.net/mode/x-keydefs/ Backup the file brief.sl before installing the enhanced version. Please let me know if there are any problems with the enhanced version.
