My hard drive on my Win7 laptop crashed last week, and I'm now trying to get everything I had reinstalled. After I reinstalled Cygwin (now at 1.7.17), I'm seeing some problems starting up Cygwin tools. I don't see anything specifically about this in the FAQ.
I normally run "C:\Cygwin\bin\rxvt.exe -display :0 -fn "Lucida Console-14" -tn rxvt-cygwin-native -e /bin/bash --login" from a shortcut for a shell outside of Emacs. When I do this now, it looks ok, but I'm now finding that the Backspace key just moves the cursor forward one character, not deleting the previous character. I have another shortcut for "C:\Cygwin\bin\run.exe /usr/bin/rxvt.exe -display 127.0.0.1:0 -tn rxvt-cygwin -e /bin/bash --login". This behaves the same as the previous with respect to Backspace. "mintty" does the same. The Emacs shell is fine. My CYGWIN variable is just set to "nodosfilewarning". Pressing Ctl-v followed by backspace gets "^H". This is the output of "stty": speed 38400 baud; line = 0; erase = ^H; swtch = <undef>; I compared my ~/.inputrc with /etc/defaults/etc/skel/.inputrc and there were only differences in comments. What other information would be relevant? -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
