special keys and readline on my Slack v.11
Hi,
I back to using an old laptop which had Slack v10.1 and v 11.0 on it. So, in my bash terminal (x or rterm) ctrl-A doesn't work. The special keys seem to be messed up. Both in and out of X11. But, you know, I experienced .. I should have no problem working out why. A few days later and I haven solved it. What did I try? - Identified /etc/inputrc as an essential config file. Tried to source it in .bashrc. Won't source properly. - grepped all files in rc.d to see if inputrc is commented out. - in my v10.1 it _does_ work. Tried comparing and diffing ... but this turned out to be way too time consuming. So I've been thinking hard, using my troubleshooting abilities. No progress. Maybe somebody else has corrected this problem before? |
What shell are you using (i.e. are you actually still using bash)? This happens if I end up using some other shells:
Code:
rob:~$ /bin/sh |
Slackware doesn't have dash, not in the shell sense, anyway. :)
