dont they support readline editing commands (e.g. ctrl-a -> beginning of line)? see section "editing commands" -> http://manpages.unixforum.co.uk/man-pages/unix/freebsd-6.2/3/readline-man-pa... On Sun, 07 Mar 2010 13:28:12 +0100, Metalab General Discussion List <metalab@lists.metalab.at> wrote:
Isn't the problem that your expectation is wrong and the apps are really doing exactly what you _should_ expect on a Mac (I'm presuming you're using OS X), i.e. the issue hasn't got anything to do with the keyboard itself anyways?
Yes, this is the case .. the Apple keyboard produces keycodes just like a normal PC keyboard - its the apps which interpret what to do with the results.
I use an Apple keyboard (big white one) at work with my Linux machine - apart from needing to set up US/Austrian keymaps (I occasionally have a need for a bit of üöä), it functions like any other keyboard on a Linux PC ..
To get to beginning-of-line instead of top-of-document, I think you use control-Home or shift-Home in most OSX Apps ..
