Oh, wait. That makes the keystrokes *I* use everywhere else work on the command line too. :)<br>

(You probably want to look at /etc/inputrc , you can set all sorts of special stuff there.)<br>

<div>Is there something out there that allows me to use keys like home (beginning of line), end (end of line), ctrl-backspace (delete word), ctrl-left (move cursor back one word), etc. on the command line? Yes, I know about ctrl-a, ctrl-e (there's also shift+home,end)
- but I'd love to have the same keystrokes I use everywhere else work on the command line too.<br>
