Hey,
Whenever I ssh into a specific machine and try to use my 'Home' key, whenever I press it, it gives me a '~'
My 'End' key works just fine though.
How can I remap it to goto the beginning of a line? The shell is bash and it's linux on both ends.

I don't know for the home key, but you can do ctrl+a to go back to the beginning of a line

bump
when i ssh into the machine, it still gives me a ~ at the shell when i hit home... something else to note though, home does take me to the beginning of the line when using VIM in that machine, just not in the shell

in .bashrc:
export INPUTRC="$HOME/.inputrc"
in .inputrc:
| Code: | "\e[1~": beginning-of-line
"\e[4~": end-of-line |
start a new login shell to test (bash -l)
or you might need this .inputrc:
| Code: | "\e[8~": end-of-line
"\e[7~": beginning-of-line |
or maybe just try this:
| Code: | "<CTRL+V, press end>": end-of-line
"<CTRL+V, press home>": beginning-of-line |
Where instead of copy-pasting what I wrote inside the quotes, you press those key combinations to get their output.
More details at http://linuxart.com/log/archives/2005/10/13/super-useful-inputrc/ and by running "info readline"

thank you sooooo much, you just saved me so much pain that I've been dealing with for about 4 months now. I will never take those keys for granted ever again
