I'm wondering if any pdksh users can tell me how to bind an escape sequence to a command. I want to bind the Home key (^[OH) to beginning-of-line. I tried the following but I get a weird result. bind '^[OH'=beginning-of-line When I hit the home key the cursor jumps to the beginning of the line but then prints an H. For example: $ foo (hit Home key) $ Hfoo (The cursor now rests after the H.) Anybody know how to handle getting something like the Home key bound to a command? Thanks.
