Make Ctrl+/ work on vt/syscons none

Description martin 2016-08-27 14:57:18 UTC 
Hi,

I use Ctrl+/ for tmux prefix, because this is one key combo that is rarely used, but usually works everywhere. I noticed, I does not work with vt(4).

Take a look at this:

/usr/share/vt/keymaps/us.kbd:
#                                                         alt
# scan                       cntrl          alt    alt   cntrl lock
# code  base   shift  cntrl  shift  alt    shift  cntrl  shift state
# ------------------------------------------------------------------
  053   '/'    '?'    nop    nop    '/'    '?'    nop    nop     O

It seems that / is not mapped, but it should, to Ctrl+_.

Here are the relevant lines from my ~/.tmux.conf that you can try to reproduce this behavior (this will work in Xorg):

set -g prefix '^_'
bind '^_' send-prefix
unbind C-b

Make Ctrl+/ work on vt/syscons

I attached a patch that would Ctrl+/ work with vt/syscons like it works in Xorg.

It maps Ctrl+/ to 0x1f (^_).

  vt: add Ctrl+/ key mapping

  This matches Xorg's handling of Ctrl+/ and may be useful as a tmux
  escape.
