Some of my keys don't work, and some keyboard activities don't work the way I expect.
The built-in documentation isn't doing it for me, and I'm just discovering most of this. I've run into some issues that I'd like another perspective on.. ---- problem 1: I don't seem to be able to bind the way I expect. Example: > bind -k home beginning-of-line > test string<home> > test string[1~ It's odd, because I'd had home/end rebound successfully before, by pressing the actual keys during the bind process, like so: > bind <home> beginning-of-line > bind <end> end-of-line I don't want to do things this way though. What if I have 'home' and 'end' already bound, and next year I want to re-bind them to something new? At that point, I couldn't get the 'home' or 'end' raw characters back. (I vaguely remember a way, but I cannot recall enough to search for it) Am I forced to use bind's "erase mode" or is there some other solution? How would I do that? Also, how would I make my bind changes permanent? Is there just some text file that I could edit? That would be easiest. ---- problem 2: Also, when pressing home, I am expecting the current string to be remembered and for me to be shown the previous command. Right now it highlights the line and looks for a match in history. This is something new for me to learn, so it's ok. But when seeing this, I press control-c to kill what I'm doing. Then I press home to look through my history. It still goes through its searching mode. I have to press control-c then enter to be able to use up/down to go through history. Is this normal? Even on a blank line (new shell), I do this: > <up> > (previous command) > <control-c> > <up> > (second-to-previous command) I'm actually expecting control-c to be "piss off, start over" and for me to see the most recent previous command when pressing up. I am guessing that there's a different "blank the line" hotkey I need to get used to. I can look that up, but is there some way for me to continue using control-c? ---- problem 3: I bound home to beginning-of-line, and I want it to work when looking at the history. This is what I see: > echo this is a test this is a test > <up> > echo this is a test <home> > So when viewing the command history and pressing <home> it wipes out the line. I am expecting it to move my cursor to the beginning of the line. I am forced to press up, then add a space, then press home. I want to just have home go to the beginning of the line. ---- If I end up converting to fish, I'll write up some hotkey documentation on the wiki. =) Sy, ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Fish-users mailing list Fish-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fish-users
