Re: Problem with mintty-0.4.1-1 and orpie

Sure about 0.4.0-2? I'm finding the behaviour changed between 0.4-rc3
and 0.4-rc4. That's when the keycodes for those keys in "application
keypad mode" became compatible with xterm. They don't work there
either.

In that mode, Enter sends ^[OM instead of ^M, and e.g. + sends ^[Ok.
That's all vt100 heritage, and other apps such as vim or nano have no
problem with that. Therefore, I think this is a bug in orpie: it
should either deal with those keycodes or not activate application
keypad mode.

Details here:

The reason for that seems to be that orpie doesn't activate
application keypad mode with that TERM setting, hence it gets the
normal keycodes, which it can deal with fine.
