Would you consider a change in the mysql packages back to using readline? It should hopefully be as simple as: CYGCONF_ARGS="--with-readline" I tried doing a cygport prep with that set, but the mysql package's patches aren't applying successfully, so I couldn't easily give it a try. The reason for the switch back is that the current line-editing lib is severely crippled compared to readline. There's no search (and the suggestions I saw for how to enable Ctrl-R don't work), there's no undo (or redo), there's no Esc-. arg references, there's no word delete, etc. Also, its save format is quite unreadable (not to mention that it blew-away my mysql command history in ~/.mysql_history, which was really quite rude of it). I know that RHEL/CentOS still uses readline in their mariadb packages, so hopefully it will be an easy change. ..wayne.. -- 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
