Only the F1 key is troublesome. Since you have to compile the code anyway, you can change two lines first. line 41 from: " 07F107:menu 06F2/307:sel 03F407:tag" \ to: " 07F807:menu 06F2/307:sel 03F407:tag" \ line 350 from: case KEY_F(1): menu_show(); redraw(true); break; to: case KEY_F(8): menu_show(); redraw(true); break; Voila! Useful in gnome-terminal!! I have already updated omnitty to make it gnome-terminal compatible.

I had already found omnitty, but your recent post indicated it was still running well on modern versions of Debian. I am using lenny. The only instructions you gave that would be confusing to someone unfamiliar with C and make are these: make install. What you really mean is: make AND make install (I didn't try make install without make first, but that might work too). For the right project, omnitty is a wonderful tool. I used the multicast features. (One note here, if you use multicast with vim, results may vary, multicast is not infinitely clever and not sure it captures arrow keys correctly). One obvious point is that gnome-terminal binds the F1 key, which omnitty needs. Not having figured out how to fix this (even reassigning in Keyboard prefs doesn't), I had to use omnitty in my console (Ctrl-Alt-F1 for noobs). But it's great! This is really well done.
