#1182: .inputrc improving msys WinGRASS command line
-----------------------+----------------------------------------------------
Reporter: msieczka | Owner: grass-dev@…
     Type: defect | Status: new
Priority: normal | Milestone: 6.4.1
Component: Packaging | Version: svn-releasebranch64
Keywords: | Platform: MSWindows XP
      Cpu: All |
-----------------------+----------------------------------------------------
The attached file comes from
http://downloads.sourceforge.net/mingw/MSYS-1.0.11.exe. It fixes couple of
issues with msys WinGRASS command line, e.g. home, end keys printing "~"
instead of moving the cursor.

Could this file be included in WinGRASS installer? It should go to
C:\Program Files\GRASS-64-SVN\msys\home\$USERNAME\.

Works OK for me.

Comment:

{{{
35 "\e[5~": beginning-of-history # Page up
36 "\e[6~": end-of-history # Page down
}}}

fwiw I prefer to use page up/down as an easier replacement for bash's
ctrl-r,

{{{
set prefer-visible-bell

# -------- Bind page up/down with history search ---------
"\e[5~": history-search-backward
"\e[6~": history-search-forward
}}}

thanks for the home/end tip, I struggle with that on a few servers.

Comment(by hamish):

fwiw, for me in Wingrass 6.5svn on XP with the MSys rxvt console, these
two are the needed ones:
{{{
"\e[7~": beginning-of-line
"\e[8~": end-of-line
}}}

Is there some reason for using MSys' rxvt? There are a lot of known
problems with it, and (AFAICT) no actual advantages.

Comment(by hamish):

perhaps C:\Program Files\GRASS...\msys\etc\inputrc.default is the file to
edit? or is it C:\Program Files\GRASS...\msys\home\User\.inputrc ?
