Description antmak 2016-01-04 22:39:27 UTC
Hello!

I dont know how to use luit for receive alt+ or ctrl+ NON-LATIN key combinations.

For example, I type english and cyrillic characters and combinations "q", "w", "e", "<alt>+q", "<alt>+w", "<alt>+e", "й", "ц", "у", "<alt>+й", "<alt>+ц", "<alt>+у"

Without luit:
 $ showkey -a

Press any keys - Ctrl-D will terminate this program

q     113 0161 0x71
w     119 0167 0x77
e     101 0145 0x65
^[q      27 0033 0x1b
     113 0161 0x71
^[w      27 0033 0x1b
     119 0167 0x77
^[e      27 0033 0x1b
     101 0145 0x65
й     208 0320 0xd0
     185 0271 0xb9
ц     209 0321 0xd1
     134 0206 0x86
у     209 0321 0xd1
     131 0203 0x83
^[й      27 0033 0x1b
     208 0320 0xd0
     185 0271 0xb9
^[ц      27 0033 0x1b
     209 0321 0xd1
     134 0206 0x86
^[у      27 0033 0x1b
     209 0321 0xd1
     131 0203 0x83

With luit:

$ luit -encoding 'KOI8-R' showkey -a

Press any keys - Ctrl-D will terminate this program

q     113 0161 0x71
w     119 0167 0x77
e     101 0145 0x65
^[q      27 0033 0x1b
     113 0161 0x71
^[w      27 0033 0x1b
     119 0167 0x77
^[e      27 0033 0x1b
     101 0145 0x65
й     202 0312 0xca
ц     195 0303 0xc3
у     213 0325 0xd5
^[      27 0033 0x1b
^[      27 0033 0x1b
^[      27 0033 0x1b


How can i get the right code for "<alt>+й" instead "^[      27 0033 0x1b" ?

Thx,
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

I solved problem. Would you like review my patch?

This is actually an issue for whatever terminal is being used, not luit.
A patch was mentioned, but not provided.
