* tab visibility cycling doesn't work over putty/ssh with viper-mode enabled @ 2010-05-20 2:42 Herbert Sitz 2010-05-20 4:14 ` Herbert Sitz 0 siblings, 1 reply; 6+ messages in thread From: Herbert Sitz @ 2010-05-20 2:42 UTC (permalink / raw) To: emacs-orgmode I'm trying to run orgmode/emacs over an ssh connection with PuTTY. Win7 client and Ubuntu host. With viper-mode enabled all I get is a bell when I click on tab to cycle the visibility of a heading in viper's normal mode. Shift-tab works okay, as does a tab key if I am in viper's insert mode (but of course it merely inserts tab then rather than cycling visibility). Tab cycling seems to work properly if viper-mode is disabled. I'm new to emacs/orgmode (coming from vim) and to ssh sessions, stumped on this tab key issue though I suspect it's nothing complicated. Can someone tell me how to get tab cycling working in my putty client when using viper-mode? Thanks! ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 6+ messages in thread

One of the most obvious is CTRL-C, which I think works only if preceded by some other meta key. E.g., CTRL-X, CTRL-C works normally to quite emacs. But when a sequence starts with CTRL-C the bell goes off and no keypress is recognized. This makes it impossible to use keys to enter agenda view, which is accessed via CTRL-C,a. I assume my setup is common enough (Win7 PuTTY client accessing openssh server on Ubuntu 10.04) that someone has worked out these problems? Thanks for any tips. -- Herb ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 6+ messages in thread

I have no experience with viper-mode and only know very basic vi commands. When viper-mode asked me for a user level, I specified 5. Org-mode version 6.36trans (release_6.36.52.geec2) Visibility cycling with TAB works both in command and insert mode. I can also access the agenda using C-c a a. Looks like putty is misconfigured. While quickly scanning through putty's configuration menu, the only setting I noticed was "Connection -> Data -> Terminal-type string", which is set to "xterm" here. However, I did not modify the default values, so it should work out of the box. You can try logging in with putty, executing "sleep 5", and interrupting that with C-c. If that does not work, the problem is definitely not emacs related. HTH, Jan ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 6+ messages in thread

However, my problems with TAB key and C-C appear to be quite different, and only the TAB key one appears to be unique to using PuTTY/ssh. First, regarding C-c a not working to bring up agenda-view, this problem exists on my emacs instance in Ubuntu even when using it directly, not through ssh. Pressing C-c a gives error message 'C-c a is undefined', despite the fact that agenda-view works fine when accessing it through the menu system. Frustrating, but it has nothing to do with PuTTY. (And PuTTY does send C-c properly to stop the 'sleep 5' process in a bare terminal.) Second, the problem with TAB key in viper-mode does seem specific to PuTTY/ssh, since it works fine when working directly. This doesn't seem possible that it's a PuTTY problem, since so far as I can tell TAB works properly in all other modes, and it works properly to cycle visibility as soon as I turn viper-mode off. Thanks for the suggestions though! I'm wondering if you have any others?. . . Regards, Herb ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 6+ messages in thread

I had forgotten that you have to put the 'C-c a' key definition in the .emacs file. So the TAB problem with viper-mode is the only real problem I have. -- Herb ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 6+ messages in thread

When you say "working directly", I assume you use the GUI interface of emacs. Maybe the problem is not PuTTY-related but caused by running emacs in a tty. Try running "emacs -nw" in a terminal on the Ubuntu host and check if you can reproduce the behaviour there. - Jan ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 6+ messages in thread
