Function keys work all the time for me
Authored by: JoeGrind on Feb 18, '03 10:46:56AM

That's odd. I'm running OS X 10.2.4 and X11 0.2. Page Up and Page Down work absolutely fine for me using either the default Terminal or an X11 xterm sshed into Debian Linux, RedHat Linux and Solaris so far. It scrolls back into the buffer, as I expect it to. I have a Powerbook so my Page Up is 'fn+arrow up'. Are you referring to a full keyboard? Maybe that has something to do with it?

Function keys (don't) work all the time for me
Authored by: daneel42 on Feb 18, '03 11:25:53AM

I don't want page-up to scoll back into the terminal buffer. Typically, when i'm ssh'ing in to another box, i'm oftentimes running applications that also react to the pageup/down keys (e.g. pine, various irc clients, emacs, other applications). I -want- pageup/down to be passed through terminal to the ssh session - NOT caputred by terminal for scrolling back.

I'd kill for a way to tell Terminal.app to ignore the pageup/down keys.
