Description Marcus Spading 2011-09-20 22:34:40 UTC 
While playing around with combination of rxvt-unicode and tmux and mapping tmux's 
select-window to Meta-n (n=0..9) I realized that Meta-2 wasn't working correctly.
It had to pressed twice, sometimes not reacting at all. Meta-1 and Meta-3 to Meta-0 worked as expected.

A quick search revealed it to be a bug in the terminfo entry of rxvt-unicode.
See the debian bug #446444 for a better explanation.


Reproducible: Always




To fix this locally run:

infocmp rxvt-unicode|sed -e 's/kIC=\\E2$,/kIC=\\E[2$,/g' > /tmp/ti
sudo tic /tmp/ti
rm /tmp/ti
Comment 1 Marcus Spading 2011-09-22 22:32:42 UTC 
The same problem exists in the terminfo entry of rxvt-unicode-256color.
Comment 2 Alex Alexander (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2012-02-29 09:12:44 UTC 
fixed in ncurses/ncurses-5.9-r2

thanks :)
