I know that name! You're fIREfox from blitzed/ftech. You may recall me as "grifferz". Anyway. I _can_ alter inputrc to kinda make it work but: 1) This doesn't explain why the sequence changes in X as compared to the console. 2) I have to do this also on every single remote machine I ever want to log into. 3) This only applies to apps that use GNU readline (for that is what inputrc is part of) 4) Even in those that do use readline, they seen to expect Home/End to be something else e.g. mutt that I am using now has a default key binding on <End> to go to last message in the list, or end of message displayed. This binding has always worked fine..until I installed gentoo. So yeah mutt uses readline so I can add another binding on this new sequence, but doesn't it kind of hint that something is wrong with _my_ setup when that has worked before? Thanks for the reply though.. I will have to dig further.. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
