SSH shell Putty Function Keys
0%
Description
After SSH login with Putty and entering the shell with 8 the pos1 and home keys do not work properly in 1.2.3.
It seems like that the keybinds for the TCSH are not set.
According to http://www.ibb.net/~anne/keyboard/keyboard.html#Tcsh i edited the /etc/csh.cshrc probably setting in ~/.cshrc would work too.
After re login HOME POS1 and DEL Key work correctly.

This probably won't work for other programs you might run from the SSH session like editors, etc. This is also specific to PuTTY. Other SSH clients (like the OpenSSH client, for example) behave differently.

This is correct it does not work for vi which is pretty annoying.

Fixing vi is a special case, and will probably take some fiddling with .exrc, to make things work as expected with home and end. And even then the results would vary from client to client.
This .exrc will fix vi in some clients (and break others) for end/home.

Note that may fix it over SSH but will simultaneously break it from the actual console.

HI,
you could also try to install VIM instead of VI to my knowledge this problems are resolved with VIM.

We have ee native and vim-console package available for installation. Beyond that, all tty framework was rewritten on FreeBSD since then.
I don't see a reason to add specific bits to accomodate putty or any other specific client. It's not a pfSense bug.
