grr, i don't know what i hit to make that go out early. let's try again! so i use urxvt exclusively and do not suffer this problem.
what version are you using? i have several, one that works is 9.06 and another is 9.09. what is the termcap or terminfo for the terminal? you're probably using terminfo, so if there's no entry for rxvt-unicode in your termcap file (wherever your distro puts it--mine (ubuntu 10.04 with the 9.06 urxvt) doesn't even have one anymore!), what is the output of 'infocmp rxvt'? i'll compare it to mine and we can try swapping if they are different. > On Fri, Oct 21, 2011 at 14:02, Rich Shepard <[email protected]> wrote: >> One person on the slackware mail list has tried helping, but so far it's >> not resolved the problem.

(that is what the attempted solution above does. have you made certain that the shell does in fact become a login shell, listens to .inputrc, and that your xresources are taking effect? btw, you can "source" the .Xresources file with xrdb like so: xrdb < ~/.Xresources (then run a new copy of urxvt from any shell or menu or whatever--that affects all of xwin). what shell are you using? >> urxvt works fine except for not properly wrapping long lines.

I find nothing appropriate on the man >> pages or the wiki. well, if you are worried this is a shell issue, have you tried a different shell so you can verify whether or not it is urxvt at fault? like, install and try zsh or tcsh and see if they behave the same. i have no inputrc and use bash with a pretty stripped down bashrc, fyi. the only rxvt-related xresources i set are: Rxvt.font: -sony-*-*-*-*-*-24-*-*-*-*-*-*-* Rxvt.reverseVideo: true Rxvt.loginShell: true Rxvt.colorUL: Cyan3 Rxvt.color4: RoyalBlue Rxvt.color12: RoyalBlue Rxvt*saveLines: 10000 Rxvt.cutchars: `()*,;<>[]{|}\ _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
