... Please note the following problems and workarounds: . ... Arrow keys . Arrow keys are used in SAOtng to move the mouse or markers. ... Unfortunately, error messages are generated if both sets are defined in the SAOtng code but are not supported by X. To get around this problem, we have added the -kbprefix command switch (and the SAOTNG_KBPREFIX environment variable) to SAOtng. This switch allows you to specify which arrow keys you want to use (assuming your version of X supports both). ...
