Finding out what the key causes on "stdin" is no problem... I like "od" a
lot ;-)
The problem is making bash/console and/or bash/rxvt do what I want on
certain keypresses, a' la keybindings for bash (in ~/.profile).
This time it was about the "Home" and "End" keys, I wanted them to work as
CTRL-A and CTRL-E do in both console and rxvt. I *had* this in the console,
but *not* in rxvt.
$ info readline
$ info bash
made me realise what it was all about...
=> one minute ago I made it work in both rxvt and console with small changes
in my .inputrc
~/{.inputrc,.profile,.Xdefaults} enclosed for completeness...
Dunno if they match everybody's mind of usefulness, but they do allow
&dieris and &ring characters; and DEL, BS, HOME and END keys work.
