I believe that this is already included in the FAQ, anyway: put a file called .inputrc into your home directory and add these lines: # This file is read by the 'readline' library # (the library which bash uses for its command- # line editing facility) # Make Home work "\e[7~": beginning-of-line # Make End work "\e[8~": end-of-line # Make Delete work "\e[3~": delete-char # make Insert work "\e[2~": paste-from-clipboard # "\C-h": backward-delete-char # "\C-?": backward-delete-char Backspace works for me out of thebox, so I cannot say which one will work for you. This works for bash and probably other shells that use readline.
