next in thread | raw e-mail | index | archive | help
on plain old console (TERM=cons25):
- before setting emacs mode:
M-h produces visible character 'h' instead of deleting current word
C-w works like M-h
- after setting emacs mode
M-h does not work as stated in man ksh(1); produces character 'h'
C-w behaves like C-u (unix-line-discard, from man bash(1))
in a xterm (${TERM:0:5}=xterm):
- before emacs mode:
M-h produces ^[h character
C-w works like M-h
- after emacs mode:
M-h works as stated in man ksh(1);
C-w works like C-u
also, i am not binding any keys, just relying on default behaviour;
i wish i could use ksh93 in console too after setting emacs mode.
btw, am using FreeBSD 4.3-RC as of Mar 31 4.38a est 2001; ksh is
"ksh 93" (tried both from the ports and built from ast-open sources).
what could be the cause of M-h not working under/in console after setting
emacs mode?
