I have been trying to make a keyboard binding in tmux's root key-table (no prefix) for Ctrl-Alt-;, but haven't been able to get it to work.
I then realised that in bash Ctrl-v, Ctrl-; returns only ;, so typing Ctrl-Alt-; is the same as typing Alt-;.
So is it not possible to use Ctrl-; at all in Linux? Is there anything I could do to make it work?
I am using a UK keyboard if that is making any difference here.
Ctrl-;. If your terminal supports it (xterm and mlterm do support it). Your keyboard layout does not make any difference. – Oct 05 '21 at 23:43;,ctrl+;,ctrl+alt+;, ..., well, different keys + mods are pressed. Luckily we are not stuck in 1980. If you are interested, see my Q&A: Mapping otherwise conflicting or unmappable keys in terminal Vim (it's not really Vim specific, I must change that title). – Quasímodo Oct 06 '21 at 00:31"\e[88;5u", as isn't thatctrl+shift+x? How would I find the code forctrl-alt-;? – paradroid Oct 08 '21 at 20:03ctrl-alt-;— not that it matters, because, if you bindctrl-alt-;to\e[88;5uthe terminal emulator will respect your order none the wiser.
