Package: zsh Version: 4.3.10-2 Severity: normal The value of $TERM is 'xterm' in both emulators, and is 'linux' on the console.
The text I reported was the literal text inserted in the command line when I pressed the given key combination. The apparently relevant bits of infocmp output for linux and xterm are, respectively: linux xterm kcub1: '\E[D', '\EOD'. kcud1: '\E[B', '\EOB'. kcuf1: '\E[C', '\EOC'. kcuu1: '\E[A', '\EOA'. Based on mappings described at http://zshwiki.org/home/zle/bindkeys That also suggests various possible workarounds, though I'd still be curious what changed to make them necessary, and think they should be the normal behavior. Also, it looks like these Ubuntu and Gnome bugs are closely related: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/zsh/+bug/355883 http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=578045 Since it's mentioned in those, I'll not that I do NOT have a ~/.inputrc Thanks for the quick follow-up. I'll be happy to help with any continued investigation. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.30-1-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages zsh depends on: ii libc6 2.9-19 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libcap2 1:2.16-5 support for getting/setting POSIX. ii libncursesw5 5.7+20090607-1 shared libraries for terminal hand Versions of packages zsh recommends: ii libc6 2.9-19 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libpcre3 7.8-2 Perl 5 Compatible Regular Expressi Versions of packages zsh suggests: ii zsh-doc 4.3.10-2 zsh documentation - info/HTML form -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
