[gentoo-user] Home/End Insert a ~ Instead of Moving Cursor

[gentoo-user] Home/End Insert a ~ Instead of Moving Cursor

[R0b0t1]

How do I fix this? I found
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Home_and_End_keys_not_working,
but the provided /etc/inputrc settings are on all systems. Connections
are made via ssh (network) and screen (serial). The issue seems to
only appear in nested sessions on the ssh connection and on the serial
connection.

The issue may be screen. If it is, what different thing do I do?

Cheers,
     R0b0t1

tmux seems to be all the rage these days.

It does have vim bindings. That is nice. In any case, issue persists
with a bare ssh session to an Ubuntu host, but inputrc has the right
things in it.

As mentioned above in <20180520081757.GC23714@ikki.ethgen.ch> ff., that
is a generic issue with missing termcap mappings for 3 key sequences
(delete-char, beginning-of-line and end-of-line)

That hint pointed me to what seems to be the issue.

It seems for me that neither /etc/inputrc nor ~/.inputrc are used on
gentoo.

Gentoo already has the relevant mappings in /etc/inputrc but it seems to
be not set. On debian (to have something to compare) the questionary
mappings are not set in /etc/inputrc but are set and working.

And I double checked:
   key[Delete]='^[[3~'
   key[End]='^[[F'
   key[Home]='^[[H'

and in inputrc:
   $if mode=emacs
   ...
   "\e[H": beginning-of-line
   "\e[F": end-of-line
   $endif

So, finding out why the inputrc's are not read should fix the problem.

Regards
   Klaus

Disregard (partly) my mail before.

in bash, the questionable keys work. It is only zsh where it does not
work.

After some digging, I found that zsh is not linked against readline.
Even more it wonders me why it work on other platforms.

On debian not even bash is linked against readline.

I am confused as before. :-(

It probably bundles its own copy.  Which of course makes things harder
to debug - but hey, it's easier for the developers :P

There was a time when this was one of the things debian was religious
about - no library bundling, period.  Now, I would not be so surprised.
To be fair, it is almost impossible to ship Firefox safely and link it
against system libraries.

Brave new world of browserized computing :-(
