That points me in the right direction. I also found some notes that talk about using xev. I'll re-read some docs and explore some more. >> Also, when pressing home, I am expecting the current string to be >> remembered and for me to be shown the previous command. > ... > > ..

I did reboot recently, so maybe there were some environment settings or such which somehow confused fish? I'm not sure how to reproduce this problem now, and I'm not sure what may have changed in my setup recently to have caused or fixed this issue. If this happens again, I'll report back. Some of problem 2 remains: On a blank line (new shell), I do this: <UpArrow> (previous command) <control-c> <UpArrow> (second-to-previous command) I am expecting to see the previous command. I am currently forced to do this: <UpArrow> (previous command) <control-c> <Enter> <UpArrow> (previous command) I very regularly press control-c to blank the line, and I want to avoid needing to press enter. Instead of control-c, I could use control-u but that's not optimal as it will begin to insert junk in my clipboard, and it's not fast or easy to do with one hand. >> problem 3: >> > ... >> when viewing the command history and pressing <home> it wipes out the line. >> >> I am expecting it to move my cursor to the beginning of the line. > ... > > This works for me as expected. Thanks. I expect that this is a simple binding issue. I'll do some work on this right now. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Fish-users mailing list Fish-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fish-users
