Hello,

 Q. TSE: Linux: In which terminal program do most TSE keys work?

Tested mostly with TSE for Linux version 4.50.13

Taking as test the keys + mouse buttons as defined in the file TSE tse.ui:

Showing the total of TSE keys that do NOT work:

1. Linux non-WSL Ubuntu, terminal 'xterm': 15 keys do not work + 9 mouse buttons

2. Linux WSL Ubuntu, terminal 'WSL': 20 keys do not work + 9 mouse buttons

3. Linux non-WSL Ubuntu, terminal 'Mate': 45 keys do not work + 9 mouse buttons

4. Linux non-WSL Ubuntu, terminal 'Gnome': 48 keys do not work + 9 mouse buttons

Conclusion:

Use the xterm terminal (as recommended by Semware)

E.g. in Linux non-WSL open a terminal and type or paste:

xterm -ge 118x29 -fa Monospace -fs 10 -e "<filepathtoyourTSEe>" <yourfile> -e<yourTSEstartupmacrofilename>

E.g.

xterm -ge 118x29 -fa Monospace -fs 10 -e "/home/knudvaneeden/Downloads/tse/e" &

E.g.

xterm -ge 118x29 -fa Monospace -fs 10 -e "/home/knudvaneeden/Downloads/tse/e" "/home/knudvaneeden/Downloads/tse/myfile.s" &

E.g.

xterm -ge 118x29 -fa Monospace -fs 10 -e "/home/knudvaneeden/Downloads/tse/e" "/home/knudvaneeden/Downloads/tse/myfile.s" -e "/home/knudvaneeden/Downloads/tse/mystartupmacro.mac &

with friendly greetings
