Hi all! Our newsserver does not seem to have gnu.bash, I hope it's ok to post this question here.
The following bash command used to bind Meta-p: bind '"\M-p": history-search-backward' but does not work anymore (I am assuming that our bash version was updated recently), and it seems that in a bind command "\M-p" now means some exotic character: % ==================================================================== [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/fs-home/tmp$ bash --version GNU bash, version 3.1.7(1)-release (i386-redhat-linux-gnu) Copyright (C) 2005 Free Software Foundation, Inc. [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/fs-home/tmp$ bind -u history-search-backward [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/fs-home/tmp$ bind -p | grep history-search-backward # history-search-backward (not bound) [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/fs-home/tmp$ bind '"\M-p": history-search-backward' [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/fs-home/tmp$ bind -p | grep history-search-backward "ð": history-search-backward % ==================================================================== Can someone tell me how this binding can be done correctly now?
