In OCEAN command line mode, backspace, delete, and others don't work properly.

The "ocean" command doesn't support "readline" type editing (there's an enhancement request for that). However, it should support backspace. Can you type "stty -a" in the terminal window before starting "ocean" and post what it shows?

Thanks,

Andrew.

Hi Andrew,

it shows:

intr = ^C; quit = ^\; erase = ^?; kill = ^U; eof = ^D; eol = <undef>; eol2 = <undef>; swtch = <undef>; start = ^Q;

stop = ^S; susp = ^Z; rprnt = ^R; werase = ^W; lnext = ^V; flush = ^0; min = 1; time = 0;

Nothing jumps out at me - the erase was what I was interested in, and that looks OK. Please contact customer support so that we can work through this with you.

I had a chat with a colleague in R&D - he said:

From a local xterm, I get the same thing for the arrow keys.  Backspace and Delete work properly, but Ctrl+H outputs “^H”.

From an xterm in NX, I get the strange characters for Delete but Backspace works properly.  So I think this just has to do with how the keyboard is configured.

 As I said, the arrow keys is not surprising, since ocean doesn't use readline, but maybe there's some keyboard configuration issue - not sure how you're accessing the tools.

Anyway, as I said, customer support is the best bet.

Regards,

Andrew.
