I was read man page about ksh and found 'set -o emacs' and so on (BTW man pages are great source),but command history is running by default after install.
Problem start after I setup $EDITOR in .profile .Looks like something is fighting with something,but can't find what. Can $EDITOR affect this default behavior (running command history after install)? -----Original Message----- From: Paul de Weerd [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, June 11, 2008 10:23 AM To: Tomas Bodzar Cc: misc@openbsd.org Subject: Re: command history in ksh missed when I set $EDITOR On Wed, Jun 11, 2008 at 08:57:22AM +0100, Tomas Bodzar wrote: | Hi all, | | When I set this in my .profile | | # Editor | EDITOR=/usr/bin/vi | export EDITOR | | then I don't have command history,I can't use arrow keys for going to previous | command, | CTRL+R is not running too. | | What's wrong with this setting?I'm using ksh You'll have to `export VISUAL=emacs` or `set -o emacs` to use arrow keys for command history. Alternatively, you can do what you've configured your system to do and use <esc>-[jk] to navigate through your command history and use vi-like keys to edit your command line. Things are working as expected (it's just that you weren't expecting this ;), read the ksh manpage, specifically the section on VISUAL and EDITOR. Note that you can have VISUAL and EDITOR set to vi and still be able to use emacs mode on your shell by using set -o emacs.
