using bash without arrow keys
I am using bash on a virtual machine. For some reason arrow keys don't work there. Is it possible to use some other key kombination (like HJKL in vi) to move left/right/up/down?
(it's OpenBSD if it helps)
edit: I will also add I know the reason why they don't work and it's pretty much unfixable (and it's not the problem I want to solve right now)
Try this:
set -o vi
Then use Esc and 'hjkl' to navigate.
You can also do this:
set -o emacs
And use ctrl-p, ctrl-n, etc. for navigation.
I have VI mode set in my .bashrc so it's immediately available.
EDIT: here's a cheat sheet for VI mode in Bash. It's a PDF, so consider yourself warned ;)
Here's a cheat sheet for Emacs mode in Bash -- just to cover my bases. It's also a PDF.
In Emacs mode, it's Ctrl-B and F (backward and forward one character), and Ctrl-P and N (previous and next line)
