I've used the solution below so that I can go back in the completion list in Bash via the SHIFT-TAB keystroke. However, I can only get it to work when running in an xterm window (where $TERM=xterm). It doesn't work in the plain-ol' Windows console window (where $TERM=cygwin).
The research that I've done has pointed me to termcap as a possible suspect. Grokking termcap is going to take me a while. Before I go down a possible dead end, does anyone have any comments on why SHIFT-TAB doesn't work when running Cygwin/Bash in a Windows console window? (By "doesn't work" I mean that SHIFT-TAB behaves the same as pressing TAB by itself). Here's the aforementioned solution for configuring SHIFT-TAB for backwards completion: http://klo-2k.spaces.live.com/blog/cns!2872308BEB65CA67!521.entry Thanks, Frank -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
