My shell is bash and my keyboard lay= out is US-ISO. =C2=A0 I am facing 2 problems on the console : =C2=A0 1) My backspace key works fine, but the Del and Delete keys also do a backs= pace instead of a forward delete. How do I change this ? My keyboard=C2=A0i= s a basic 101/102 keyboard. =C2=A0 2) Bash simply does not remember my commands in the right order. Most of th= e commands I type in a login session are forgotten in the next session. Mov= ing the Up and Down arrow keys navigates a mangled and incomplete command h= istory. =C2=A0 I am attaching the contents of my .bash_profile, .bashrc and .inputrc below= . =C2=A0 #.bash_profile : if [ -f ~/.bashrc ]; then =C2=A0source ~/.bashrc fi #end-of-file =C2=A0 #.bashrc : export HISTFILE=3D"~/.bash_history" export HISTFILESIZE=3D1000 shopt -s cmdhist shopt -s histappend #end-of-file =C2=A0 #.inputrc : "\e[1~": beginning-of-line "\e[4~": end-of-line "\e[3~": delete-char=C2=A0#should be a forward delete unless I am mistaken "\eOd": backward-word=C2=A0#ctrl-leftarrow "\eOc": forward-word=C2=A0#ctrl-rightarrow set completion-query-items 20 set meta-flag on set input-meta on set convert-meta off set output-meta on #end-of-file =C2=A0 If anyone can help me out, I shall be really grateful. =C2=A0 Thanks in advance, Manish Jain goodredhat@yahoo.com =0A=0A=0A Download prohibited?
