- Subject: Arrow keys when using ssh to connect remotely to solaris box
Hello, I'm using ssh inside an rxvt terminal (?) to connect remotely to a
Sun server running Solaris. It connects without any problems and I can login
to the Oracle database the server is running. However, the arrow keys
doesn't work correctly. When I hit left-arrow to edit what I am typing in
sqlplus (oracles command line client) the input cursor position doesn't move
instead ^[[D is displayed. Neither of the arrows keys work. I guess the
problem is that the remote shell is expecting keys in one format and I am
sending it in another, slightly different format, so it doesn't work for
some keys. This has made working remotely with the oracle database a chore
at best and I was wondering how I can remedy the situation?
