I haven't binded anything to ctrl+u so I don't understand why it empties to whole line instead of deleting from the beginning of the line up to my cursor.

Does this only happen in urxvt, or in other terminals (and tty) in the same shell? Is this bash, or what shell? As these questions may suggest, this is almost certainly controlled by the shell, not the terminal emulator. Your shellrc file would be more relevant. As would and readline configurations.

Isn't this the standard readline emacs-style binding? 'Kill backward from point to the beginning of the line.'

This might be an interaction with the input method: URxvt.inputMethod: fcitx. Are you able to test with this line commented out?

karol · 2014-11-12 17:09:45

I don't have that line and Ctrl-u works as I described.

Karol, the OP is not getting the behavior you describe. The OP says the whole line is deleted, not just up to the cursor.

I'm using zsh as my default shell. I've tried it in bash and it works fine! So it appears it's a problem with my zsh configuration. Thanks!
