Re: Preferred terminal emulator

Michael,

I am not able to reproduce the problem, at least under openSUSE 11.1. When you took the option to remap the Enter Key to the Enter key on your PC keyboard were you warned about the existence of an existing mapping for Enter (Field Exit)? I gotta admit that the whole key mapping thing is not as straightforward as I would like. The "key" to the whole thing is pressing the key you want to map to *while* the dialog box is displaying "Please hit the key(s) that you would like to map to..." I kept closing the dialog and then mouse clicking the key I wanted to map to rather than pressing the key I wanted to map to while the dialog was displaying. It is even more confusing because the Enter key would normally dismiss the dialog box anyway.

In any case, I'd have to find a Fedora 11 system to try this on but it does work for me in openSUSE.

I experienced the same issue with the DOS based file but didn't have a chance to figure out what the issue was with IzPack and the file attributes.
The second issue has me stumped. Not sure where the extra space would come from.

Figured this one out. I has to do with the font that it was using. Changed it to liberator mono and the display was fine. Might be the font it was using by default was a unicode font or something else.
Still no luck with getting the ENTER key on keyboard to act like the ENTER key. It acts like a field exit key. I tried remapping, but it doesn't change.



The keyboard mapping should be changeable by right clicking the screen and choosing the "Map Keys" option. The only weirdness in that applet is that you have to first select the function you want to map on the left select list and then click on the "Map Key" button. Then you have to click the key you want when the dialog box is displayed (which is a little counter intuitive).

I see a java job in system monitor of 23.8 meg when it is running and the job disappears when exited. Ubuntu 9.10.

I have a new installer build here: http://www.petesworkshop.com/downloads/tn5250j-install-
0.6.2_beta-1.jar
I did a quick check of this on a Fedora 11 system, and ran across a couple of issues already.
After finding the program after the install in /usr/local/tn5250j, it would not run. Something I've seen before the script was in the DOS format, so running dos2unix on it fixed that.
Second issue, is the system connects to our AS/400, but it seems to so every character with a space after it, which throughs off the screen size. It does seem to go full screen, which is an issue with both tn5250 the xt5250.
Third option. The Enter key of the main keyboard above the shift works like field exit. The Enter Key on the numeric keypad does act like an enter key.
Just did a quick look thru options, but didn't see anything to change these settings.
Thanks.
You might give it a try. I wasn't able to replicate Aaron's experience in Windows or Linux (OpenSuSE 11.1) but that doesn't mean it is fixed....
Pete
