When I do ALT234 with numeric pad keys and numlock on, from bash directly running under cmd.exe, I get :\251 at first (colon backslash 251) and then when I hit enter for the command, I get a beep. If I do the ALT234 with numeric pad and numlock in CMD.exe I do get what looks like a capital omega. So a months old bash does not respond well to this ALT numpad stuff. My information supports the judgement that weird behavior in this area was introduced a while ago. For comparison only, If I do ALT234 with mintty running bash, I get neither the :\251 nor capital omega, I get lower case e with circumflex. >c:\cygwin\bin\bash --version GNU bash, version 4.3.42(4)-release (i686-pc-cygwin) -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
