Hi,

I'm learning CL, and installed linedit chiefly for use within the SBCL
REPL.

It seems to hang if I press CTRL-arrow (ie to move the cursor at word
boundaries instead of a char at a time). CTRL-C does not get out of this
hung state and I have to open another terminal and kill sbcl from there.

Home and End keys do not work and 'Unknown command "M-O".' is
displayed along with a H or F as user-input.

I'm running sbcl-1.0.18-debian in Debian Lenny for the AMD64 platform.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
James.

OK, I've taken the 'trouble' of looking into the source for linedit,
in particular the command-keys.lisp file, and have seen that the
functions i was looking for are implemented just not using the keys i
expected. It would be interesting to know why
CTRL-any-arrow-direction-key causes a hang tho.

Any chance of getting home+end ctrl-arrow keys working in linedit by
default?

Cheers, James.

Sure. I haven't touched linedit in quite a while, but am happy to
merge a patch. :) ...with a bit of luck I might even find time to do
it myself, but that will take a while.

(Sorry for the slow answer, was at ELS 2009 this week.)

Cheers,
