There is a bug already https://bitbucket.org/rsc/plan9port/issue/124/patch-revision-3449-messes-with-keyboard-7 so we can wait for a fix in meantime.
For now you can make a clean clone of specific revision previous to the change: cd /usr/local rm -rf plan9 hg clone -r e9cdfa957952 https://bitbucket.org/rsc/plan9port plan9 Or if you want just to checkout the revision in existing tree: cd /usr/local/plan9 hg checkout -r e9cdfa957952 On Wed, Mar 20, 2013 at 6:09 PM, Rudolf Sykora <rudolf.syk...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hello > > On 19 March 2013 19:59, Patrick Higgins <patrick.allen.higg...@gmail.com> > wrote: >> Yes, that was it.
