Re: Meta key definition in a linux console

[Olivier Sirven]

I'm using iTerm.app or Terminal.app
I tried adding these lines too to /etc/inputrc without any success:
“\e[1~”: beginning-of-line
“\e[4~”: end-of-line
“\e[5~”: beginning-of-history
“\e[6~”: end-of-history
“\e[3~”: delete-char
“\e[2~”: quoted-insert
“\e[5C”: forward-word
“\e[5D”: backward-word
“\e\e[C”: forward-word
“\e\e[D”: backward-word

# Enable 8bit input
set meta-flag On
set input-meta On

# Turns off 8th bit stripping
set convert-meta Off

# Keep the 8th bit for display
set output-meta On
