- Can some X hacker (well, X resource hacker) help me with this
- one.
-
- I need to insert some control, and 8-bit chars into an xterm.
- I have added an translation to the following effect.
-
- XTerm*VT100.translations: #override \n\
- Meta<Key>a: string(0xe4)
-
- Which should give me an umlaut-a when I press <Meta>-a. However,
- the 8-bit seems to get stripped, and all I get is a 'd' ;-(.
-
- Does anyone have a solution to this, short of redefining the whole
- keymap?
-
- --Toby.
