- Sun DeskSet is the collection of tools you get with OpenWindows;
- some of these are being ported to Motif for COSE/CDE: cm, mailtool, maybe
- others.
-
- [1] What are the default key bindings in textedit and elsewhere?
- [2] What can I put in my .ttysrc? Where is it documented?
- [3] Is there a tty-based interface to cm (Calendar Manager)?
- [4] How can I arrange to have my .signature included in my outgoing mail?
-
- [1] What are the default key bindings in textedit and elsewhere?
-
- See the man page for textedit(1) for some of them.
- In general, the editing/moving commands go in the opposite direction when
- shifted - e.g. Ctrl+w deletes a word, and Ctrl+W deletes the word to the
- right of the insert point.
-
- Meta-i - include file Meta-f - find selection (forward/backward)
-
- Ctrl-a - start of line Ctrl-< - back word
- Ctrl-e - end of line Ctrl-> - forward word
- Ctrl-w - delete word Ctrl-u - delete to start/END of line
- Ctrl-Return - move to end/START of document
-
- See the O'Reilly XView Reference Manual for a list of some of the default
- keys; see also the olwm or olvwm manual page.
-
- [2] What can I put in my .ttysrc? Where is it documented?
-
- See the manual page for shelltool.
-
- Subject: DeskSet, Mailtool, Calendar Manager, etc.
-
- [3] Is there a tty-based interface to cm (Calendar Manager)?
- Yes, cm_delete, cm_insert and cm_lookup; these all have manual pages.
- If "man cm_delete" doesn't work or gives strange messages, see under
- Trouble Shooting: Strange Error Messages, below.
-
- On Solaris 2.3, cm_lookup may be broken (and maybe cm_delete & cm_insert
- are too), as it always uses a date in 1970 if you give it an invalid date.
- The Solaris 2.2 and 2.4 ones seem more tolerant of date formats.
-
- [4] How can I arrange to have my .signature included in my outgoing mail?
- The best way is:
- $ cd
- $ cp /usr/lib/.textswrc .
- $ chmod +w .textswrc
- edit .textswrc (use vi, textedit, or whatever you prefer)
- add the follwing:
- KEY_RIGHT(3) FILTER
- cat ~/.signature
- (you might need to change ~ to $HOME)
-
- Now pressing R3 will insert your .signature file.
-
- [5] How can I get mailtool to send mime messages by default?
-
- Add the following two lines to your .mailrc:
- set strictmime
- set sendrfc
-
- WARNING: some versions of mailtool (up to and including Solaris 2.3,
- maybe 2.4 as well) will corrupt MIME messages that they receive when
- you save your mail. There's a patch for this.
- Also, the sendrfc and strictmime options are unsupported and undocumented.
