When in a bash terminal, if I hit ESC or Shift + Tab the command line goes to the history where I can move around to previous bash commands with vi-like bindings. I get messed up when in this mode since I will unintentionally run various commands. I can only get out of this by hitting a
or i
.
I hit ESC and Shift + Tab frequently (though, accidentally) in my normal usage and I would like to disable this history search mode altogether.
Edit: The event also occurs when I hit any of F1 through F12 (except F4 and F11), pause/break, delete, home, pgup, and pgdn. I'm beginning to think it's related to unbound keys or perhaps something weird with my keyboard.
Esc
, nothing happens and if I hitShift
+Tab
nothing happens as well. In order to browse my command history I have to hitCtrl
+R
. All these with gnome-terminal. What terminal are you using?echo $TERM
does, but it returnsxterm
for me, even though I'm using terminator.
