Thanks for the quick reply. Since this has kind of been fixed, and that the PgUp/PgDn keys still do not work (but this may be the default) I have marked it as a Wishlist item. I would suggest to re-enable this functionality permanently to contact the developers of the package directly and see if they would be willing to change the defaults back to how they were, i.e. PgUp/Dn. Glad to see that you found a workaround, will update the description. Thank you again for helping to make Ubuntu better!
** Changed in: readline6 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Wishlist ** Changed in: readline6 (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Confirmed ** Description changed: Binary package hint: gnome-terminal In edgy, one can navigate the command line with control-arrow (left/right) to jump over words. This is not possible in feisty's gnome- terminal. Instead it prints a control character as in the following example: jos@duet-feisty ~ $ foo;5C;5D;5C;5D As you can see, it prints a ;5C for ctrl-right and ;5D for ctrl-left. This makes navigating a long command line cumbersome. + + ===WORKAROUND=== + + I had to create the following ~/.inputrc file to get them to work in + Bash: + + $include /etc/inputrc + + # ZYV + # + # PageUp and PageDown don't work in Ubuntu anymore by default :-( + # + "\e[6~": end-of-history + "\e[5~": beginning-of-history -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/89235 Title: can no longer jump words with CTRL-arrow in gnome-terminal To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/readline6/+bug/89235/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
