True, though that would've been taken care of by the Windows-level problems above (wrong name, I know). Does 'bind -p | grep B' show anything for 'B'? Check your .inputrc for any bindings for B; then .bashrc and /etc/profile, for any bind commands.

Now, interestingly enough, a lone 'B' in .inputrc doesn't produce any key binding that could be found in the bind output (with all the flags I tried). How would I figure out that 'B' is bound to nothing, but bound nonetheless[*]? bind -p lists all bindings, and every character that does not do a special function should at least do self-insert. If a key combination is not bound, then it will not show up in bind -p. Therefore, the fact that bind -p | grep 'B' failed to produce output is a good indication that 'B' is not bound, and it can be rectified by: bind B:self-insert (where you use the key sequence [ctrl-v][shift-B] to actually put B in the command line). Igor P.S. This is a non-Cygwin-specific readline question, and perhaps off-topic for this list. True, but I couldn't resist answering. -- Eric Blake volunteer cygwin readline maintainer -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/

When I try to type a capital B in any form of cygwin terminal, it doesn't register. A lower case one does. First, it doesn't show up. Second, if I type return after typing B, the prompt just comes back with no error. When typing any other capital letter, the letter is visible and typing return after it causes a [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ C bash: C: command not found [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ b bash: b: command not found error. All other letters, numbers and characters, shifted and un-shifted seem to work. I've had this problem across several versions of cygwin. It also occurs regardless of which method I use to access cygwin, bash, rxvt, or ssh. I have not tried it with X11 since I don't have it. Any help or search suggestions would be appreciated.
