As Gtkterm is often used like a terminal emulator, the shortcut keys are assigned to , rather than just . This allows the user to send keystrokes of the form X and not have Gtkterm intercept them.

R -- Send file
Q -- Quit

The RS485 flow control is a software user-space emulation and therefore may not work for all configurations (won't respond quickly enough). If this is the case for your setup, you will need to either use a dedicated RS232 to RS485 converter, or look for a kernel level driver. This is an inherent limitation to user space programs.
GtkTerm has a few dependencies-
- Gtk+2.0 (version 2.6 or higher)
- vte (version 0.20 or higher)
- intltool (version 0.40.0 or higher)
Once these dependencies are installed, most people should simply run:
./configure make
And to install:
make install
