[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #54672] Unexpected behavior on first input, due to ~/.inputrc

[Rik]

Follow-up Comment #16, bug #54672 (project octave):

@Michael: I also use a complicated VI-based setup for my .inputrc.  I looked
at my file and I use this construct


################################################################################
# Set overall mode to vi
################################################################################
set editing-mode vi


rather than


set keymap vi 


to switch modes.  You might try this.  When I start Octave I am automatically
in "insert" mode and can just begin typing.  I then use <ESC> to exit insert
mode and enter command mode where default VI-bindings like '0' to start of
line or '$' to end of line work.

I'm also with Mike, in that I expect my own preferences in ~/.inputrc to
override all other defaults.  For a while the terminal in the Octave GUI did
not do this and it made me give up the GUI.
