"F1 for help" doesn't do anything #4
Comments
It brings up the help for me. However, it does not in my X terminal emulator, only on a terminal or virtual terminal. You might check to see if your terminal-emulator or window-manager is eating the F1 key. |
If some shortcuts fail, try
For example for me: Which corresponds to https://github.com/pixel/hexedit/blob/master/interact.c#L679 |
I've found F1 doesn't work in the KDE Dolphin file manager in the embedded konsole window, but does work in a separate konsole window. [Removed my previous comments regarding buildroot as I need to investigate the buildroot implementation further.] |
F1 doesn't work in buildroot because buildroot doesn't really support man pages by design due to it's target audience of embedded systems developers. Although I can install man pages in buildroot and pull in nroff it does mean a load of unnecessary man pages get installed for other software. What are your feeling about having the hexedit help internal to hexedit rather than using man pages? |
F10 to quit works, so my F-keys must be recognized... but F1 does nothing at all when it should bring up the help according to the man page.
