[osol-discuss] The reason for non-working arrows and backspace?
Hi, although I really like Opensolaris I find really hideous having the terminal spit out control sequences when hitting arrow keys and backspace instead of moving the cursor (the only extra key that works correctly is Del, and it works backwards (like backspace)). It's not only hideous, but a serious slowdown factor in emergency situations (as few minutes ago...) Is there any reason to keep those keys completely broken? and any way to get them working as they do on every pc? (I mean, left arrow moving the curson one character left, backspace removing the character at the left of the cursor and so on).

Thanks, Nico you're probably using sh or ksh as your shell and that is the default behaviour for them. nacho ___ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org

You can set the backspace/delete key to more sane values. Also, you may want to change your shell to tcsh or bash. The latter is one of the things that always nags at me. Ever noticed that when you log into a SPARC box via serial line, arrow keys actually work in ksh. Log into the same SPARC box via other means, and they won't. Why on earth is this so ? (switched to bash for no other reason than to have working arrow keys) FrankH. ___ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
