#6 [Terminal] any arrow key on keyboard (right/up/down and even left) moves your cursor to the right
I think that UP / DOWN should be used to navigate through the history of commands (e.g. like in Linux) and LEFT / RIGHT to move the cursor to the left / right . But at the moment all these arrows are moving the cursor to the right. Observed both on real hardware and at QEMU, real hardware also beeps when you do this
Actually even more buttons are doing the same: PageUp, PageDown, Home, End, and even Delete
I think that is because these keys return an "extended" sequence that starts with x'00', and PDOS has only been coded to expect a single character return, so that becomes x'00', and then that is printed on the screen and the representation of x'00' must be blank space. I expect this will be improved in due course.
a fix for all arrow keys has been committed. new binaries have not yet been published
