I've put this: bind "\C-b":vi-bWord bind "\C-f":vi-fWord in my .bashrc to let me use ctrl-f/b to move forward and backwards words. It was recently pointed out to me though that you can actually do this with alt-f/b without any .bashrc modification at all. Also, this: alias screen='screen -e^\`\`' makes the 'screen key' ctrl-~, which means I don't go crazy every time I try to go to the start of a line with ctrl-a in a screen session. Keep this stuff coming. It makes my life easier! James. -- "There is no I in TEAM but there is an i in Ninja" -- http://www.ninjaburger.com/sekrit/
