Rather than keeping a lookout go digging thru the archives.  As for the
"regular arrow keys", I've not heard of anyone having a problem.  Perhaps
you've an incorrect keyboard driver or the keyboard mapping is incorrect.

AW: bash history not avail from arrow keys

[erskine, michael]

Hi Frank,

(wow - quick reply!)

Yes, I have HOME set from within AUTOEXEC.BAT and when I do 'cd' 
it goes there and I can see my .bash-history. The 'history' command 
works as expected. 



Hi,

do you set HOME before starting the bash?


Here is the way I use it:
startbash.bat

@ECHO OFF
set HOME=/home/%USERNAME%

c:\usr\local\bin\bash.exe -login


Greetings
   Frank

Betreff: bash history not avail from arrow keys

Hello list,

Under cygwin's bash shell, the command history isn't available using the
arrow keys. I'm sure this worked when I put cygwin on another machine some
time ago. I have HOME and /tmp set but otherwise I haven't changed anything
"out of the box". 

Any pointers?

Peace to you all.

Hi,

A couple of things to check:
1.  Do Control-P and Control-N work to retrieve Previous and Next history
commands?
2.  Do your other arrow keys (left and right) work when editing the command
line?
    (I seem to remember that on my old notebook, the arrow keys only worked
when
    Num-Lock was turned off.)

Re: AW: bash history not avail from arrow keys

[erskine, michael]

Hi Tim, 

Many thanks; that has shown me the way...

C-P & C-N do work (I didn't know about these gems!) and the arrow keys
on the numeric keypad work also (with num-lock off - I hadn't tried
them!). The PC-keyboard arrow keys still don't do anything but that's
not so bad because I am now equipped with C-p & C-n or the numeric
keypad.

You have all been most helpful - bless you.

Michael.

Ah, I see what you mean Earnie - yes I only have access to the bash 
history for this particular instance of the bash shell - shoot! I'll
look out for the patches. Any ideas for making the regular arrow keys
work (rather than the numpad)?

Thanks,

Michael, are you sure that Tim's answer works?  The reason the .bash-history
file isn't working is due to a bug in the readline library when dealing with
\r\n line endings.  Patches have been posted to the list.
