Patch to make readline parse CSI keycodes properly

\e[B": next-history "\e[A": previous-history "\e[": skip-csi-seq It's working correctly here, including when adding bindings for longer keycodes: no more funny characters when accidentally hitting the wrong key. Please consider the patch for inclusion into the readline

Incorrect codepage numbers in 1.7 guide

A couple of small mistakes in http://cygwin.com/1.7/cygwin-ug-net/setup-locale.html#setup-locale-charsetlist: ISO-8859-13 and -15 have codepage numbers 28603 and 28605, not 28563 and 28565. Andy -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com

Re: [1.7] mount -m output can contain flag 'noexec', which isn't understood in /etc/fstab

hides its console unless there's output on it already, like rxvt does. That, however, has the unfortunate side effect of the console popping up briefly, so I'm really not keen on that. Perhaps the DLL could allocate a console if one isn't available before printing diagnost

Re: 1.5.25-15: Why my $INITRC "set convert-meta off" seems to fail?

Re: [1.7] Alternative root directory. Sort of a regression.

ll is in the registry, at HKLM/Software/Cywin/setup/rootdir (with added Wow6432Node on 64-bit Windows). Obviously, hacking around with that is completely unsupported. Andy -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http:

ng bash in cygwin.bat. 3. Use MinTTY and set the codepage you want on the "Text" page of its options dialog. 4. Install Cygwin 1.7 and use the locale mechanism documented at http://cygwin.com/1.7/cygwin-ug-net/setup-locale.html Good luck, Andy -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.co

Re: [1.7] Alternative root directory. Sort of a regression.

bug in mbrtowc?

and third calls to mbrtowc report encoding errors.
