Try this in your .~/inputrc :- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- # set show-all-if-ambiguous On "\e[1~": beginning-of-line "\e[3~": delete-char "\e[4~": end-of-line # Invoke these to implement 4DOS style command search using Home and End keys "\e[B": history-search-forward "\e[A": history-search-backward ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- This worked flawlessly in potato, but is messy in sid. No, I don't know why, but I would like any hints on how to fix it.
