Bash, some keys acting strange
This started happening some time ago, and I have no idea where to look to diagnose it (other than the places that I've already looked into).
The problem is that when I am in bash some keys don't fulfill their intended purpose, instead they only print a tilde character, like this: '~' These keys are: Insert, End, PageUp, PageDown. Del and Home still work ok. Some notable things are:
Any idea at all where to look? This has been bothering me for quite some time now and I have no idea what else to do. Any pointer is appreciated, thanks for reading :) |
What do PgUp and PgDn do when they are working in bash? At the command prompt mine just beep.
Edit: [DELETE]What sort of terminals are you experiencing this behaviour in? Have you tested in the Ctrl+Alt+F1 to F6 terminals?[/DELETE] |

I am more concerned about the End and Insert keys, it's quite annoying when you are editing commands and you press one of them, and instead of doing their job they print a silly '~'. Quote:

When you say "only with my user" does that mean you have tried creating another user and that works as expected? If so, have you tried progressively replacing that user's user-specific bash initialisation files with your own -- ~/.bashrc, ~/.bash_profile, ~/.bash_login, and ~/.profile?
Is the problem affecting both login shells and non-login shells? Do you have an ~/.inputrc file? Have you tried stty sane? |
