Arrow keys & Page Up/Down

0rthodontist · 12-01-2006, 10:42 AM

I am using a MacBook and I can't use Page Up/Page Down on manual pages. So I have to just arrow up and arrow down one line at a time which is really tedious. Can I get around this? I tried plugging in another keyboard but it still doesn't work.

Also, in the command-line Python, I can't use any of the arrow keys--so I can't even arrow back on one line to correct something I typed, I have to delete it and type it all again. Also I can't use the up-key to get a previous line. Instead of accepting arrow key input, it says things like ^[[D^[[A^[[C^[[B (in this case, that is the output if I press the keys left, up, right, down in that order). Plugging in another keyboard does not fix this problem either.

Can these problems be fixed?
