- This is an excerpt from the FAQ for tcsh that is a part of the
- distribution:
-
- 6. I am using SunView/OpenWindows and editing is screwed up. In
- particular my arrow keys and backspace don't work right. What
- am I doing wrong?
-
- Well, cmdtool tries to do its own command line editing and the
- effect you get is one of using an editor inside an editor. Both
- try to interpret the arrow key sequences and cmdtool wins since
- it gets them first. The solutions are in my order of preference:
-
- 1 Don't use suntools
- 2 Use shelltool instead of cmdtool.
- 3 Unset edit in tcsh.
-
- My favorite solution is to use xterm but then I am not a supporter of
- openwindows in any way.
