Bash Version: 3.2 Patch Level: 25 Release Status: release Description: This may seem strange, but I don't mind using ed to edit my crontab. My $EDITOR variable is set to /usr/bin/ed. I have 'set -o vi' in my .bashrc. When I (in most cases inadvertedly) hit <Esc> and then v, I get my current line in an ed session. The problem is that te stty settings are not sane. It was very hard to get out of this session before I knew what was wrong. Repeat-By: exec bash -o vi export EDITOR=/usr/bin/bash <Esc> + <v> try to use ed. Fix: You can use ed, but there's no echo and you have to use ^J instead of <Enter> After !stty sane^J ed functions normal. Also ^Z and fg %1 (when %1 is the suspended ed command) works After return to bash you need to give one extra <Enter> before <Esc> works again. I hope this helps you to further improve Bash! Now that I know how to get out of ed without opening a new session and killing it, this is much less of a problem. -- Kind regards, wouter... -- De disclaimer van toepassing op e-mail van de Gemeente Den Haag vindt u op http://www.denhaag.nl/disclaimer
