Well I found this out ages ago when I first started playing with bash/unix> I do have this in my bookmarks that might be of interest: <http://www.ibb.net/~anne/keyboard/keyboard.html> > * How does one go about writing documentation for Cygwin? > I'm interested. Erm...Well just write it! ;-) If you mean you want to write about the differences between vanilla UNIX and Cygwin then there's quite a bit in the user's guide and the faq, both are linked on the main cygwin homepage (<http://www.cygwin.com/>). Otherwise, not too sure. Take a look at the docs/howto's that come with cygwin packages in the /usr/doc/Cygwin directory. > * What are the names of the forward and backward word keys > in 'bash', and how do I set them to <CTRL-right-arrow> and > <CTRL-left-arrow>. (I have the environment variable, > 'EDITOR', set to 'TextPad".) Do you mean you want to perform an action when you do a C+Right-Arrow? That can be done in the ~/.inputrc file. You should be able to find out more in that link above.
