No. Bash usually hooks the Up and Down cursor keys to history-recall functions; that is, pressing Up recalls the most recent line from history, Up again the next most recent and so on. However, this isn't a "permanent" hook; that is, it's only set up when bash thinks it needs to do so (at the start of a session is the most obvious time). If a program has corrupted the terminal, then this hook may have been lost so up and down do something different. Running the "reset" command *should* reset the terminal (clear the screen, reconfigure the keys and so on). > > > -- > To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject > of "unsubscribe".
