readline: edit (mode:vi) means eol unreachable
I have a problem with readline I think -- my setup is best described: valyus hgs hgs 30 $ echo $BASH_VERSION 3.2.9(1)-release valyus hgs hgs 31 $ cat ~/.inputrc set editing-mode vi valyus hgs hgs 32 $ echo $TERM xterm valyus hgs hgs 33 $ stty -a speed 38400 baud; rows 24; columns 80; intr = ^C; quit = ^\; erase = ^?; kill = ^U; eof = ^D; eol = ; eol2 = ; start = ^Q; stop = ^S; susp = ^Z; dsusp = ^Y; rprnt = ^R; werase = ^W; lnext = ^V; flush = ^O; status = ; min = 1; time = 0; -parenb -parodd cs8 hupcl -cstopb cread -clocal -crtscts -ignbrk brkint -ignpar -parmrk -inpck -istrip -inlcr -igncr icrnl ixon -ixoff -iuclc -ixany -imaxbel opost -olcuc -ocrnl onlcr -onocr -onlret -ofill -ofdel nl0 cr0 tab0 bs0 vt0 ff0 isig icanon iexten echo echoe echok -echonl -noflsh -xcase -tostop -echoprt echoctl echoke valyus hgs hgs 34 $ I am using PuTTY to this machine over ssh. The symptoms of my problem are that I can type a line of input, I can then edit it directly using the cursor keys (without hitting escape to do so) and the line changes length correctly, but I then cannot move my cursor past the last character of the line in order to append more text. To solve this I hit $a and insert a space at the end. My cursor remains on top of the space, whereas I expect it to be placed after the space. (Would it be any use sending you the typescript from script to illustrate this given that it doesn't record what the screen looks like?) I get the same symptoms on the sun (neelix below) as I do on the Dec Alpha system (valyus) detailed above: neelix hgs hgs 61 $ echo $BASH_VERSION 3.2.9(1)-release neelix hgs hgs 62 $ echo $TERM xterm-new neelix hgs hgs 63 $ stty -a speed 38400 baud; rows = 24; columns = 80; ypixels = 0; xpixels = 0; csdata ? eucw 1:0:0:0, scrw 1:0:0:0 intr = ^c; quit = ^\; erase = ^?; kill = ^u; eof = ^d; eol = ; eol2 = ; swtch = ; start = ^q; stop = ^s; susp = ^z; dsusp = ^y; rprnt = ^r; flush = ^o; werase = ^w; lnext = ^v; -parenb -parodd cs8 -cstopb -hupcl cread -clocal -loblk -crtscts -crtsxoff -parext -ignbrk brkint -ignpar -parmrk -inpck -istrip -inlcr -igncr icrnl -iuclc ixon -ixany -ixoff imaxbel isig icanon -xcase echo echoe echok -echonl -noflsh -tostop echoctl -echoprt echoke -defecho -flusho -pendin iexten opost -olcuc onlcr -ocrnl -onocr -onlret -ofill -ofdel tab3 neelix hgs hgs 64 $ I'm using PuTTY over ssh in both cases. Vim works correctly on both machines. So is this an abuse of readline (I should not be doing cursor motion while in insert mode? I can do that in Vim, and bash doesn't bleep or flash at me what I attempt to use the cursor keys in insert mode.) and therefore this is outside the scope of the program, or have I found a buglet? If the latter, what other information would be of use? I have copied the .inputrc from one machine to the other, so neelix hgs hgs 64 $ cat ~/.inputrc set editing-mode vi You have new mail in /var/mail//hgs neelix hgs hgs 65 $ (OT: how do I turn off that new mail notice? shopt -p tells me shopt -u mailwarn so it seems to be off...)

Well, given that I've not had this problem with vi or vim, so bash seems to be doing something different, (which could also be correct of course. These things are tricky to sort out since every terminal has subtle differences). So is there any software I can run that would outdo script (-> a typescript file) in its ability to debug this? If I invoke an xterm from my session, using it with Exceed version 8, I get a different kind of bug, namely that moving left with the cursor key takes me out of insert mode and removes the rightmost character from the display. Indeed, if I type a line of text then a repeatedly, I can delete the whole line. Meanwhile, in tcsh the cursor behaves normally, using either terminal. I see that a terminfo entry for PuTTY is on the wishlist. So meanwhile I've asked them to re-examine this. > > Chet > Thank you, Hugh ___ Bug-bash mailing list Bug-bash@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-bash
