[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #39822] Incorrect GUI terminal key mappings on Windows

[Philip Nienhuis]

Follow-up Comment #13, bug #39822 (project octave):

Oh I could try that too (only setting TERM if it wasn't set). Easy fix, just
copy from a stanza higher up in octave-gui.cc.

Maybe we can ask Anirudha to make the MXE Windows installer such that Octave
is started with a batch file. After all, amending a batch file is much easier
than hacking around in the code. As I wrote in an earlier comment, it also
gives a chance to supply Octave with a somewhat cleaned-up environment (TERM,
esp. PATH, perhaps others).

As to your last question:
Setting TERM to cygwin does fix the pager. Good catch!
xterm, octave, dumb, vt100, and "" (empty) cripple the pager.
