In Linux
In MySQL 4.0, I press <Home> the cursor will go to the beginning of line, but has no effect according to press <Home> in MySQL 5.1, it appear a "~" character only.
I press <Ctrl>+<A> the cursor go home
I press <Ctrl>+<E> the cursor go end
But in MySQL 4.0 I press <Home> Not <Ctrl>+<A>
My practice is to press <Home> <End> <Del> etc...
