[SOLVED] bash suddenly prints ^C when pressing it

diddi · 2009-07-09 16:42:47

Hi!

Recently I discovered that whenever I type ^C in a console, it actually prints it..
I'm not sure how long it's been there as I havn't really noticed it before.
I've seen it on several installations, and the only connection I can see is that all 2009.2 installs have this behaviour... earlier does not.
Also it's bash 4.x on the 2009.2 installs, while the older uses 3.x..

It's no big deal, but quite annoying having it printing that =P
(I can only see this happen with ^C)

Any hints on how to get rid of it?
Regards

Is there anything in the changelog of new bash version ?

what's the output of your PS1 variable ?

│aron@deb-aron:~$ echo $PS1
│${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)}\[\033[01;32m\]\u@\h\[\033[00m\]:\[\033[01;34m\]\w\[\033[00m\]\$

This is mine.

Thanks enito for hinting with readline... that lead me to a post I found on stackoverflow.com about this.

Setting "-ctlecho" with the stty command actually solved the problem. (man stty)

Thanks all (:
