try putting the following into your ~/.inputrc file (this file is read when bash is started) set meta-flag on set convert-meta off set output-meta on moreover I find it useful to have "\e[1~": beginning-of-line #"\e[2~": (einfg-Taste) "\e[3~": delete-char "\e[4~": end-of-line #"\e[5~": (bild-up-Taste) #"\e[6~": (bild-down-Taste) "\e[A": previous-history "\e[B": next-history "\e[D": backward-char "\e[C": forward-char "\"": self-insert in the .inputrc file. Then for example You can use the "Pos1" and "Ende" keys on a german keyboard to go to the beginning/end of the line you are editing. In order to make use of this in an xterm put in $(HOME)/.Xresources *VT100.Translations: #override <Key>BackSpace: string(0x7F)\n\ <Key>Delete: string(0x1b) string("[3~")\n\ <Key>Home: string(0x1b) string("[1~")\n\ <Key>End: string(0x1b) string("[4~")\n\ Ctrl<Key>Prior: string(0x1b) string("[40~")\n\ Ctrl<Key>Next: string(0x1b) string("[41~") Look at /usr/doc/HOWTO/Keyboard-and-Console-HOWTO.gz and /usr/doc/HOWTO/mini/Key-Setup.gz In general /usr/doc/HOWTO/German-HOWTO.gz is useful for dealing with german umlauts.
