Hello mksh world. I've just migrated to mksh, but I'm having trouble with getting the PS1 as I had set before. My PS1 used to be PS1='\h@\w\$ '. \h was the host name and \w was the current directory (with ~ instead of /home/user/). But it looks that mksh doesn't accept this backslash escapes. Is there another way to get this behavior back to me?
Another thing I miss is the way ^L works. On my old shell, it would clear everything on screen expect for the current line. On mksh is just redraws, but doesn't clear everything above. I've thought the closer I could get was to make ^L behave like ^C+`clear`. But even then it's not perfect, because I'd lose the current line I'm typing. Has anyone a solution or idea to try for this? I really miss the behavior of my old shell in this respect. Thanks everyone and good work on mksh.
