I can't bind keys in bash --- has anyone ideas what I'm doing wrong ? $ bash --version GNU bash, version 2.03.0(1)-release (i386--freebsd4.0) Copyright 1998 Free Software Foundation, Inc. $ cat ~/.inputrc Control-o: "TEST" $ uname -a FreeBSD chimaera.locus 4.0-STABLE FreeBSD 4.0-STABLE #3: Fri Jun 30 07:10:00 BST 2000 root@chimaera.locus:/usr/src/sys/compile/CHIMAERA i386 With the above, pressing ^o doesn't cause the terminal to beep ( which would indicate that the sequence was unbound ). Trying a different tack, and getting rid of the ~/.inputrc, nor can I do this: $ bind '"\C-o": clear-screen' because ^o doesn't clear the screen, even though the output from $ bind -P includes the line: clear-screen can be found on "\C-l", "\C-o". I'm completely stumped ! Any suggestions gratefully received. If I'm being stupid, please just send me an email to that effect ! -- Harry Newton harry_newton@telinco.co.uk To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
