Emacs Ctrl modifiers don't work in console

Question

I have 2 hotkeys for dired, that work in GUI mode in Emacs:

(add-hook \'dired-mode-hook
  (lambda ()
        (define-key dired-mode-map (kbd \"C-\"         


        

Answer 1

Here is the algorithm, how to make modifier keys work in Emacs in terminal.

1.Create a file funcskeys with content:

control keycode 105 = F100
string F100 = "\033[1;5D"
control keycode 106 = F101
string F101 = "\033[1;5C"
control keycode 103 = F102
string F102 = "\033[1;5E"
altgr keycode 105 = F103
string F103 = "\033[1;5F"

At the end must be an empty line!

2.Under root load the file:

#loadkeys funcskeys

3.Put this into the beginning of .emacs:

(unless (display-graphic-p)
  (progn
    (define-key input-decode-map "\e[1;5C" [(control right)])
    (define-key input-decode-map "\e[1;5D" [(control left)])
    (define-key input-decode-map "\e[1;5E" [(control up)])
    (define-key input-decode-map "\e[1;5F" [(meta left)])))

End of algorythm

After this hotkeys will work:

(global-set-key (kbd "C-") 'forward-word)
(global-set-key (kbd "C-") 'backward-word)
