Terminal doesn't "catch" d key

Still Life · 2010-05-15 10:33:50

Hi I've this problem: I use Arch with XFCE and terminal doesn't recognize d key but it recognize D key! in other applications "d" works fine. I think this problem is come after pacman -Syu. And if I paste a word with "d" inside, terminal doesn't put the "d".
I've also tried with gnome terminal but the problem still the same.

Thanks a lot!

Any chance it was remapped to something else? What happens if you create a new user (with a clean profile) and log in as that user?

Sorry I'm not very able. How can I create a new user if the "adduser" command requires two "d"?

Open your favorite text editor and create a small shell script for that ?

Or simply cut and paste "adduser" from this message to the terminal.

Or use tty... many options

Another one!
type '/usr/sbin/a??user'

Now the cool solution

$(printf a\\x64\\x64user)

Use printf and the ascii value of the char!

EDIT: With you like to use the decimal value, and are too lazy to convert to hex:

$(printf $(printf a\\%03o\\%03ouser 100 100))

I win!

$(perl -e 'printf("a%s%suser\n",  chr('100') x 2);')

No, you dont

$ time (for i in {1..1000}; perl -e 'printf("a%s%suser\n",  chr('100') x 2);' >| /dev/null)
(; for i in {1..1000}; do; perl -e 'printf("a%s%suser\n",  chr('100') x 2);' )  0.50s user 0.64s system 32% cpu 3.551 total
$ time (for i in {1..1000}; printf a\\x64\\x64user >| /dev/null)
(; for i in {1..1000}; do; printf a\\x64\\x64user >| /dev/null; done; )  0.00s user 0.01s system 91% cpu 0.015 total

Mine is ways ways ways much faster! Ha!
