I've tried going back to UNICODE="no" and a POSIX locale, it didn't help. To cut a long story short: it was inputrc. Some weeks ago I tried adding extra aliases for history-search-backward. It didn't work, but I forgot to remove the lines. They contained "\M"... The way I finally figured it out was by having a secondary Gentoo system, a half-year old copy of the current system: when chrooting into it the problem was gone. After trying lots of things, it finally occurred to me it might be a configuration problem. After copying over the current /etc to the old system (saving its /etc first, of course), the old system had the problem too. Then I remembered inputrc. > Are you sure there are not any app on your system that capture > this specific combination ? If that were the case, I'd expect it to also capture the key when nano or tcsh or bash-2.05 are running, and it didn't. > What keymap are you using ? Plain "us". Thank you for answering anyhow.
