xterm: 'home' and 'end' keys not working

[stefan]

Problem:
In xterm, my home key and my end key do not work, only
beep...

I have already been searching the web for this one for a while.
I actually found a posting about this on debianhelp.org,
but the proposed solution didn't work for me.

From what I've read so far, I suppose this is a matter with /etc/inputrc.
this is what my current /etc/inputrc looks like:


# See readline(3readline) and `info rluserman' for more information.

# Be 8 bit clean.
set input-meta on
set output-meta on

# To allow the use of 8bit-characters like the german umlauts, comment out
# the line below. However this makes the meta key not work as a meta key,
# which is annoying to those which don't need to type in 8-bit characters.

# set convert-meta off

# Make keyboard work right with xterms (yeah, as if ;)
$if term=xterm

# these were the 'solution' on debianhelp.org
#"\e[[H": beginning-of-line
#"\e[3~": delete-char
#"\e[[F": end-of-line
#"\e[d": backward-word
#"\e[c": forward-word

# (I tried these too, but it did not solve the problem either.)
#"\e[1~": home
#"\e4~:" end
$endif

what's really wrong here?

thanks a lot
stefan
