I use a german keyboard, where some characters (~,|,\,@) are to be typed using the left Alt-Key (It ist named "Alt Gr" on the keyboard) It works in a DosBox, It worked in b17.1 - but not in b18. When I do a cat - > testfile and enter - say "Alt Gr"+Q ( that's where @ is) i see a @ appearing. When I use vi - lienedit-mode (set -o vi) and enter Ctrl+V "Alt Gr"+q I see a ^[@ appearing. That made me think the combination "Alt Gr"+q sends a ESC+@ sequence. I redefined ESC+@ to @ in .inputrc : "\e@": "@" Then I got @ where i wanted it. But this does'nt harmony with vi - style linediting. I can't use ESC+k to get the previous history -line anymore. Any help would be appreciated. Since I did subscribe only the announcment-Mailing List, Iwould prefer a direct Email answer, if possible. The only thing i changed, when upgrading to b18 was - all mounts are binary (including C: to /).
