I tried different terminals and found that xterm works perfectly. So it must be a problem with eterm, and sure enough: http://www.eterm.org/docs/view.php?doc=ref Looks like eterm (and several others btw) are mapping <S-F1-10> to <F11-20>. This seems kind of odd. This makes <S-F1>=<F11>, and <S-F2>=<F12>. So instead of 24 function key combinations, I'm cut down to 20. I'm not seeing anything obvious available to change this "feature" (commenting out the code in term.c and recompiling didn't do what I want), but I'm still looking. For now though ':help :map' to the rescue. I've remapped the <S-Fx> keys to the key codes being given by eterm. Just added this to my .vimrc: set <S-F3>=[25~ set <S-F4>=[26~ set <S-F5>=<xHelp> set <S-F6>=[29~ set <S-F7>=[31~ set <S-F8>=[32~ set <S-F9>=[33~ set <S-F10>=[34~ set <S-F11>=[23$ set <S-F12>=[24$ "F15 is apparently the help key, so undo it's mapping so I can use it. map <Help> <Nop> map! <Help> <Nop> If anyone knows a quick and easy way to make eterm/rxvt/etc.. work more like xterm for key bindings, please let me know. Something tells me I cant just swap out term.c and expect everything to work, but I'll keep digging. Thanks again for any help. Chris Frederick
