Re: home and end keys not working



On Thursday, March  9 at 10:56 AM, quoth Troy Piggins:
As far as I can tell, my home and end keys are bound to first and
last entry commands, but hitting the keys I get an error "Key not
bound".

Chances are, you and your terminal disagree about what key-code the home and end keys should be sending.

For me, the home key is ^[[H (as revealed by control-v), and mine works. This may be goofed up if, for example, you access mutt through some goofy terminals (for example, if you use putty to connect to another machine).

You may be able to work around this by editing your muttrc, and adding:

bind index ^[[H first-entry

That goofy-looking part (or something like it) should be what shows up when you press control-v and then press the home key.

If that works, then you can fix the rest of your keys in a similar fashion.
