page up/down print ~ instead of history search in terminal
- by Desmond
I am on a Macbook Pro with mac os x 10.8.2
I have set:
page up: \033[5~
page down: \033[6~
in terminal keyboard settings (pressing esc to get \033).
My ~/.xinputrc is:
# Be 8 bit clean.
set input-meta on
set output-meta on
set convert-meta off
# Auto completion options
set show-all-if-ambiguous on
set completion-ignore-case on
# Keybindings
"\e[1~": beginning-of-line # Home key
"\e[4~": end-of-line # End key
"\e[5~": history-search-backward # Page Up
"\e[6~": history-search-forward # Page Down
"\e[3~": delete-char # Delete key
"\e[5C": forward-word # Ctrl+right
"\e[5D": backward-word # Ctrl+left
I am just following a guide found on internet (actually there are a lot of guide really similar): http://macimproved.wordpress.com/2010/01/04/fix-page-updown-home-end-in-terminal/
Unfortunately, the only (terrific) result is that when I press page up (fn + up arrow) just a "~" is printed in the terminal.
