thanks for the bug report

you should split the shortcut issue into a separate bug report (it depends from
different components than the rest of the reported problems)

what doesn't work when running ./wine fp.exe
- Alt-F: because it's likely managed by your xterm-like application (testing
locally: Alt-F doesn't work, while Alt-O and Alt-W do). You need to configure
(if possible) your xterm-like to no handle those sequences
- mouse support (not implemented in this mode) (even if doable)

you'll get better results when running under wineconsole
(./wine wineconsole <pathto>/fp.exe)
- you'll get all Alt- combinations
- mouse will be supported

concerning resizing:
- fp adapts itself to console size (AFAICS, works as expected under wine)
- but fp doesn't support resizing its window while running (it doesn't work in
windows)

hint: under winconsole, when using right click, use properties in menu, then
configuration tab, and pickup the window size that's convenient for you.
validate & close dialog and exit fp. upon each restart the validated size
should be default for fp.

From Eric Pouech response i understood that there is no bug - just use
winconsole.

I have good knowledge of how keyboard and mouse do work in xterm. And it is a
big mess. True functional keyboard is not possible (some sacrifices have to be
made).

It is a great idea for wine to run console applications as natives in terminal.
Questions is: "Do Wine have to translates keyboard escape sequences and provide
some other functions for user program running in linux terminal"?

Winconsole: in general do work (key combinations, resize).
Particularly for Fp.exe does not work switching between uses and ide screen.
Key combination Alt+F5 do work, but functionality is somewhat broken. And i'm
not sure is it problem of fp or wine. If you are looking for what to fix today
- there is great opportunity to investigate. Otherwise you are free to close
this bug report. Would be nice hear a comment at least.

almost ;-)
I'm saying that key binding and mouse support will be way better when running
in window terminal (called by using wineconsole) that what you get in unix
terminal.
But unix terminal could be improved (esp. for mouse support).
But don't hold your breath for this to be developped. So using wineconsole is a
better option.

I'm not sure what you mean here, but yes in this mode we have to adapt to
underlying's terminal escape sequence (even if currently we mostly stick to
generic ones). (there are for example open bug reports for ^h adaptation).
What do you mean by "provide some other functions"?

I'd say if this feature works correctly under Windows, it looks more like a
Wine bug. Did you have the opportunity to check behavior under Windows (and if
yes, which version).

Basic would be screen height/with, but that's irrelevant if there is no good
keyboard support.

in xterm 
Ctrl+h key code x08

BackSpace key code x7f
Ctrl+BackSpace key code x08

Those can be flipped by sending escape sequence

BackSpace key code x08
Ctrl+BackSpace key code x7f

This is "to be or not to be" situation: Ctrl+h is ether BackSpace or
Ctrl+BackSpace

I tested in windows Vista. I did open new bug report.
