Description:   Opened: 2003-08-06 05:17 0000 
After etc-update'ing inputrc I could no longer "scroll" (for previous commands
that have the same beginning as the current command) in the bash history using
the PgUp/PgDown keys.

I found this comment "fix Home and End for German users" which does not seem to
be directly related, I know (since it's not about Home/End), but I'm a German
user...thus maybe PgUp/PgDown were "fixed" too? Just curious, because I never
had any problem with Home/End either.

Restoring inputrc helped. But unfortunately the changes were to big to tell
which change caused the problem - at least for me, cause I don't have any real
knownledge how that thing works in the first place.

Confirmed here after updating baselayout today. Compared inputrc between this
machine and another (fairly outdated) machine.

baselayout-1.8.6.8-r1 has a vastly different inputrc, related changes are these
mappings:

"\e[5~":        history-search-backward
"\e[6~":        history-search-forward

the new baselayout-1.8.6.10 has these mappings for the same keys:

"\e[5~": beginning-of-history
"\e[6~": end-of-history

Temporary fix is to edit inputrc and comment the new mappings, and add in the
old mappings for page up and page down. That works here.

There are very many mappings that are cut out of inputrc (although this may
have been gradual over several revisions my other machine has missed) which may
cause other bugs not yet noticed.

I could make a diff if requested, but is that really neccessary?

Nope, I'll get to it, thanks.
