This is faster, anyway, but it +will be even faster for you while you're using F<vim_mode.pl>. Also, if you +don't already know, you can use C<Alt+[qwertyuio]> to access windows 11-19 +(the letter corresponds to the number northwest of it on the keyboard). + +Also, for xterm users, the default binding is to emit a skimpy set of +non-ASCII chars, such as superscript-2 when you hit C<Alt+2>. There are more +modern ways to input such characters, and they get in the way of the above +trick. Doing: + + echo '*VT100*metaSendsEscape: true' >> ~/.Xresources + xrdb -merge ~/.Xresources + +...then restart xterm. The C<xrdb> command should only be necessary for the +current X session, as that file is read by default in most X startup scripts. +If it is not, you can add that line to your C<~/.xsession> or C<~/.xinitrc>, +whichever is in use. Furthermore, if you want to change this setting on a +running xterm (for example, because you're running C<irssi> directly, not from +within C<screen> even though you should!), you can use C<editres>. It is one +of those crufty old X11 applications that is not very well understood, today, +but to use it you go to C<Commands E<gt> Get Tree>, then click on the xterm, +then click on the C<vt100> box, then go to C<Commands E<gt> Show Resource +Box>. From there the C<metaSendsEscape> resource should be visible so you can +click on it (if it isn't, fiddle with the odd scrollbar on the left of the +window). Finally, enter C<true> in the "Enter Resource Value" box and hit +C<Apply>. Not terribly simple, but at least it will save you the noob move of +C</quit BRB.> + =head3 FILE-BASED CONFIGURATION Additionally to the irssi settings described in L<settings|/SETTINGS>, vim_mode |
