Re: [Mingw-msys] arrow keys produce [A [B [C [D

[Schwarz, K. <kon...@si...>]

Putting -o vi/emacs options in .profile is not such a good idea, because =
subshells don't inherit this value.  Instead, it should be in the $ENV =
file or .bashrc, depending on how you invoke bash (or if you are using =
ksh, etc.).

Konrad
