I have this problem on kernel 2.6.27-7-generic, in Intrepid with KDE 4.1
Arrows and Navigation keys do not work in Bash, but are fine everywhere else. I tried two different keyboards, and corresponding layouts. But the keys just don't work in shell (Bash or csh) Any ideas? ps - it is Arrow (not aroow) Last edited by aiyeou; 12-10-2008 at 10:31 PM. Reason: typo |

Create /etc/inputrc:
Code:
# /etc/inputrc - global inputrc for libreadline # See readline(3readline) and `info rluserman' for more information. # Be 8 bit clean. set input-meta on set output-meta on # To allow the use of 8bit-characters like the german umlauts, comment out # the line below. However this makes the meta key not work as a meta key, # which is annoying to those which don't need to type in 8-bit characters. # set convert-meta off # try to enable the application keypad when it is called. Some systems # need this to enable the arrow keys. # set enable-keypad on # see /usr/share/doc/bash/inputrc.arrows for other codes of arrow keys # do not bell on tab-completion # set bell-style none # set bell-style visible # some defaults / modifications for the emacs mode $if mode=emacs # allow the use of the Home/End keys "\e[1~": beginning-of-line "\e[4~": end-of-line # allow the use of the Delete/Insert keys "\e[3~": delete-char "\e[2~": quoted-insert # mappings for "page up" and "page down" to step to the beginning/end # of the history # "\e[5~": beginning-of-history # "\e[6~": end-of-history # alternate mappings for "page up" and "page down" to search the history # "\e[5~": history-search-backward # "\e[6~": history-search-forward # mappings for Ctrl-left-arrow and Ctrl-right-arrow for word moving "\e[1;5C": forward-word "\e[1;5D": backward-word "\e[5C": forward-word "\e[5D": backward-word "\e\e[C": forward-word "\e\e[D": backward-word $if term=rxvt "\e[8~": end-of-line "\eOc": forward-word "\eOd": backward-word $endif # for non RH/Debian xterm, can't hurt for RH/Debian xterm # "\eOH": beginning-of-line # "\eOF": end-of-line # for freebsd console # "\e[H": beginning-of-line # "\e[F": end-of-line $endif Code:
export INPUTRC=/etc/inputrc
