Anyone know how to restore the previous mappings and/or identify what screws it up (presumably some damn ncurses crap)?
typing "^V^O<RETURN>" in a bash shell often fixes it when bash prints "bash: ^O: command not found" (where ^V and ^O are Ctrl-V and Ctrl-O respectively) echo -e "\0017" works just as well. or any other method of outputting a Control-O running "reset" is also useful, and "stty sane" too, especially if the terminal is in non-echoing mode. i usually do all three in that order when my terminal goes weird (e.g. from accidentally catting a binary file) craig -- craig sanders <cas@taz.net.au> BOFH excuse #216: What office are you in?
