home, end, delete, pageup, pagedown with ksh

Question

Hello.

I want to use home, end, delete, pageup, pagedown with ksh. My TERM is xterm-color. These keys works fine with tcsh and zsh, but not with ksh (print a tilde ~)

I found this:

bind '^[[3'=prefix-2
bind '^[[3~'=delete-char-forward
bind '^[[1'=prefix-2
bind '^[[1~'=beginning-of-line
bind '^[[4'=prefix-2
bind '^[[4~'=end-of-line

But when I set one bindkey, the last does not work anymore.

How can I use these keys in ksh with a .kshrc ?

Thanks.

Answer 1

Have you got the EDITOR or VISUAL variables set? If not, that may be the way forward.

  EDITOR=vi

may be sufficient.

Answer 2

with EDITOR=vi , home, end, delete, pageup, pagedown does not print a tilde ~ (but does not work). Moreover, I do not like vi EDITOR. On the other hand, with EDITOR=emacs, the problem is the same. These keys does not work, and print a tilde ~.
