There have been sufficiently enough console programs throughout my Linux life that I have come to regard only certain control sequence as reliable, and ^U is not amongst these. Midnight Commander rebinds ^U to swap panels, gpg2/pinentry-ncurses takes ^U verbatim, nano and editors of that family make ^U a paste rather than a kill, (re)(al)pine and MUAs of that family inherit nano behavior. The reliable sequences I mentioned... just ^C, and surprisingly ^D. And maybe ^S, because that always interferes when you least expect it :-) _______________________________________________ systemd-devel mailing list systemd-devel@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/systemd-devel
