Maybe, just maybe... ;-) the cause lies in what you use as a shebang in your script. If I do: $ sh I get a dash subshell on my system which has apparently no command line editing with readline configured and I get the cursor movement sequences printed instead of being translated/executed by the terminal. On the other side changing the shebang to "#/bin/sh" instead of "#/bin/bash" didn't change the behaviour of that little script with the bound F1 key, works just as before... Kind regards, Stefan
