Hello,

A proposal to add all these keys to tse.ui.

They have all been tested in showkey in xterm.

They also do not already occur in tse.ui.

Tested with TSE for Linxu version 4.50.13 on Linux non-WSL Ubuntu, running in an xterm terminal:

Then basically ALL defined functions assigned to the keys in TSE tse.ui can be used in the xterm terminal.

So that is then finally RESOLVED assumed definitely.

===

<Alt F10>               ShowEntryScreen() // exits the TSE editor
add this to tse.ui:
<CtrlShift F10>         ShowEntryScreen()( // works in xterm

---

<Alt F2>                InsertLine() // can not be used in xterm
add this also to tse.ui:
<CtrlShift F2>          InsertLine() // works in xterm

---

<Alt F4>                mLower() // // can not be used in xterm (exits the editor)
add this also to tse.ui:
<Ctrl F4>               mLower() // works in xterm

---

<Ctrl PrtSc>            Paste(_OVERWRITE_) // can not be used in xterm
add this also to tse.ui:
<CtrlAlt P>             Paste(_OVERWRITE_) // works in xterm

---

<CtrlShift 8>           ExecMacro("quote cmt") // can not be used in xterm
add this also to tse.ui:<CtrlAlt 8>             ExecMacro("quote cmt") // works in xterm

---

<CtrlShift Grey*>       PasteFromWinClip() // can not be used in xterm
add this also to tse.ui:
<Ctrl V>                PasteFromWinClip() // can added and then be used in xterm when PasteFromWinClip() is implemented by Semware

<CtrlShift Grey+>       CopyToWinClip() // can not be used in xterm
add this also to tse.ui:
<Ctrl C>                CopyToWinClip() // can be added and then be used in xterm when CopyToWinClip() is implemented by Semware

<CtrlShift Grey->       CutToWinClip() // can not be used in xterm
add this also to tse.ui
<Ctrl X>                CutToWinClip() // can be added and then be used in xterm when CutToWinClip() is implemented by Semware

===

and additionally proposing to add these keys, because they are so frequently used and userful:

<Ctrl A> MarkAll()

<Ctrl Z> Undo()

Thanks
with friendly greetings

UPDATED:

(InsertLine() is already duplicated, and <Ctrl n> InsertLine() works in showkey,
thus has been removed from the list).

See the updated list below, discard any previous:

Hello,

A proposal to add all these keys to tse.ui.

They have all been tested in showkey in xterm.

They also do not already occur in tse.ui.

Tested with TSE for Linux version 4.50.13 on Linux non-WSL Ubuntu, running in an xterm terminal:
Already added, suggested to indicate that that key works in xterm:

<Shift PgUp>            mPrevPara() // does not work in xterm
<Alt PgUp>              mPrevPara() // works in xterm

<Shift PgDn>            mNextPara() // does not work in xterm
<Alt PgDn>              mNextPara() // works in xterm

===

When adding, suggested is to indicate that that key works in xterm:

<Alt F5>                RollLeft() // does not work in xterm
<Ctrl F5>               RollLeft() // works in xterm

<Alt F6>                RollRight() // does not work in xterm
<Ctrl F6>               RollRight() // works in xterm

===

and additionally proposing to add these NEW keys, because they are really so frequently used and userful:

<Ctrl A> MarkAll()

<Ctrl Z> Undo()

Thanks
