I think this kind of basic stuff should work without any configuration; it should be fixed in the tcsh code if it does not work already. It looks like Home and End already work in the common configurations (xterm and cons25), so bindkey is unnecessary for them. Delete should be fixed in tcsh like I fixed it in libedit in r212235, which will make it work in xterm but not cons25. If the 7.x/8.x syscons is important enough, further tweaking may be appropriate. The Ins key is more questionable because I think it is not used deliberately by many people but is annoying if you accidentally press it and do not realize. -- Jilles TjoelkerReceived on Sun Feb 12 2012 - 16:52:31 UTC
