Sorry to bother people but I just found what it is..


The setting of the TERM env var to xterm-color seems to mess up the key
mappings somehow.

If I remove the setenv TERM xterm-color (or ever setenv TERM xterm) the
behaviour goes back to normal..

is there a fix for that so that we could use colorised ls??
