When I login using SSH to an openSUSE 10.3 machine from another Unix machine with the 'ssh' client, all is fine; the Home and End keys work. However, when I login from a Windows machine using the PuTTY client, those keys won't work. I tried every possible configuration in PuTTY to no avail.
On other machines I login to with PuTTY (CentOS, Gentoo, Solaris), they work. Only the openSUSE 10.3 machines have this problem.
Any tips?
I fixed the problem. It was unrelated to the terminal definition. In /etc/inputrc lines 135 and 136, this is the default in openSUSE 10.3:
#
# Home and End
#
$if term=xterm
#
# Normal keypad and cursor of xterm
#
"\e[1~": history-search-backward
"\e[4~": set-mark
I don't know who's responsible for that configuration, but it was *NOT* a good idea. Or perhaps it's a bug/oversight; I see no reason to have Home/End do anything else than their most obvious funtion: to reposition the cursor. I commented out the two lines and everything is working OK now.
I'm not sure if this should be reported as a bug.
