cygwin : bash doesn't recognize BackSpace
** Hello, after I installed the cygwin on May 19 the bash console don't recognize *BACKSPACE* and continue to follow to the right each time I press BACKSPACE. Although, seem it actually erases the chars from the left (ENTER says nothing - so I concluded the command is empty).

Just as under Unix, you probably need to use stty to set things the way you want them. stty -a will print all the settings, and man stty describes them.

You certainly want icanon. My settings also show erase ^? . Another place to look is .inputrc for bash. Hm, I don't have one. Also, whatever terminal you're using (mintty? xterm?) can no doubt get involved. Don't see any difference between if I run cmd.exe, far.exe or cygwin console directly from the c:/cygwin/ and then run bash. Any other ideas? :( Thanks, Andrei -- Eliot Moss -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
