Thanks, this works for me. I was wondering if others did not have the same problem, since I use only standard settings for the console (except that I use csh/tcsh instead of sh).

cursor keys not working on console
The cursor keys on the consoles in freebsd CURRENT (no X11 virtual consoles, the FreeBSD consoles!) do not work for me. I use tcsh as the main shell. As set by default in /etc/ttys, the console's terminal type is xterm. Switching to setenv TERM cons25 solves the problem, but the menus in ports via make config look ugly and more ugly, but they are unusable with the setting "TERM=xterm". What is wrong here? Why are the cursor keys not working in the console/ports menu as expected when using tcsh/csh as default shell? Plese CC me. Regards, Oliver signature.asc Description: PGP signature
