I'm running Emacs 27.2 inside Ubuntu 16.04 in terminal mode inside a Bash version 4.3.48 shell.
- Normally the describe-key for the end keyboard key shows that it's
<end>
. - However, when Emacs is running inside a GNU Screen session, the same end key is described by describe-key as
<select>
.
Questions:
- What is the meaning of a
<select>
key normally and how would it be used in Emacs? - Would anyone know why GNU Screen translates the escape sequence for the end key? Right from a bash shell it generates:
^[[F
, but under GNU Screen it generates a different escape sequence:^[[4~
- Note: I use
sed -n l
to reveal the escape sequence generated by a key.
