Just watched another of Pauls excellent videos and have Spellchecking running on my rPi Linux Mystic. Works like a charm!

g00r00 - When you read this. I'd love a feature to toggle it OFF/ON.

I did turn off the auto suggest because on my Raspberry Pi Model-B it was a
wee bit slow. But work it did and quite usable at that!

Question:

I keep seeing help messages inside various parts of Mystic that refer to Wordstar like control keys for cursor movement and such. ^E = Up, ^X = Down etc. But on my system nothing happens. Does anyone know the story here?

Cheers

I see that happening too on my board. I've been considering disabling the feature since it is becoming a bit annoying.

Depends on keymap which depends on language and the keyboard itself. Generic
US 102 keyboard should do everything.

Do these cursor control keyboard shortcuts work for anyone?

One of my test cases (the one I'm particularly interested in because getting ANSI cursor Escape Code sequences working is going to be problematic) is a
CP/M 2.2 machine running ZMP. There just isn't any keyboard or language mappings to complicate things. Just straight 8 bit ASCII codes. Doesn't work.

Currently I'm using Netrunner 2.0b8 Linux 32 bit as a client. Current
keyboard setup is pretty generic pc105 US:-

#setxkbmap -query
rules: evdev
model: pc105
layout: us

Of interest the ^Y Wordstar command to delete a line works correctly. However the cursor control movement keys ^E, ^X, ^S and ^D do nothing.

There is something wrong there at least on my systems the cursor keys don't work. All the Editing Commands work, none of the movement keys work. That's under Linux. The normal arrow keys do work as do the normal Home/End/Page Up.Page/Down and such. Not sure what to make of that.
