RE: Sudden loss of "e" key in cygwin only - Fixed

[Dominic Bragge]

FYI
It seems a minor change (two Echo statements) in my .inputrc caused the problems
I'm not sure why.

All ok now

(Using minty.... problem was still there when I tried bash)

Subject: Sudden loss of "e" key in cygwin only

I'm new on the list today
I use generally use Cygwin for minimalist trawling through ascii dumps of databases using combos of grep awk printf etc


I cannot type "grep" on cmd line in cygwin anymore as of this morning!


It seems I have lost the lowercase "e" key. Uppercase works. All other keys seems to work.
All keys work in windows (on same computer).

Any clues anyone?


Thanking you kindly

Here's a fix to squirrel away; using the alt key and pressing the number pad keys (while holding the alt key) you can enter a ascii character
for example:
ALT 101
