Hi,

Just wondering how do I tweak aterm such that the functions associated with "home", "end","delete" keys work within aterm?

Right now whenever I use those keys i get the "~" displayed which can be annoying at times.

Thanks for the help in Advance!

Eric

Not too sure what you mean. Would xbindkeys help? Or do you just want to remap the the character it echoes with xmodmap?

Hi papal_authority,

Thanks for the reply, what I mean is say I have typed "abc" into my aterm, so on the prompt it will have something like:

eric@el ~$abc

but if I then press the DELETE key on the same line, instead of seeing:

eric@el ~$ab

I get:

eric@el ~$abc~

Hmm how do I use Xbindkeys and what is it for..? sorry im kinda new to linux..

Cheers
Eric

One thing you can do is bind the key in the appropriate .rc file for your shell. For example in zsh (.zshrc) it is:
bindkey "\e0H" beginning-of-line

You should be able to man the shell to get the information needed to bind the key.

I saw some peoples having those problems on the forums.

Try this in .bashrc or equivalent file:
Code:
# make keys working correctly
if [ -z "$INPUTRC" -a ! -f "$HOME/.inputrc" ]
then
        export INPUTRC="/etc/inputrc"
fi


This solved it for the others
