: my bash input line seems to accept just characters in the range of
: 7-bit-ASCII. On a German keyboard I am not able to type any of the
: umlauts (äöü). Even on a UK based keyboeard layout I cannot enter
: letters like áÁéÉ (e.g. CTRL+ALT+A). Also the Windows direct input
: mode using ALT+0+ASCII-Code is not available. Just to mensionI have
: not .inputrc (mensioned in another thread with a similar problem) and
: I wonder wether there is any configuration possibility to make these
: characters available?
:
: Found it myself (RTFM) and created an according .inputrc
: Sorry for bothering the list.
The .inputrc solves the problem, however, the behaviour is still not
compatible with Unix bash where 8-bit characters are accepted even if
no .inputrc exists.
