Bash 1.02, assorted BSD and SunOS systems. Before I can use the meta-key in bash, I have to do `stty pass8'. Tcsh, jove, emacs, ... don't have this problem. Any ideas ? I use tcsh at the moment, although I'm looking hard at bash. One of the things I'd really miss is tcsh's M-$ spell-word command. This runs through the word just before the cursor, taking it as a filename (or a command name if it's the first word on the line), and trying to correct its spelling by adding, replacing, or deleting a single character, or transposing two characters, in each pathname component. I find it absolutely invaluable, I'm forever typing `/usr/lbi/tex/macros': typing M-$ is so much easier than moving the cursor back to the right place and typing ^T. Just a suggestion.

As usual, just prior to a release, I go through all of the old bug
reports to see which ones have been fixed. I thought you might like to
know which ones that you reported have been fixed.

Sure. I fixed it, certainly for Suns.
I use tcsh at the moment, although I'm looking hard at bash. One of
the things I'd really miss is tcsh's M-$ spell-word command. This
runs through the word just before the cursor, taking it as a
filename (or a command name if it's the first word on the line), and
trying to correct its spelling by adding, replacing, or deleting a
single character, or transposing two characters, in each pathname
component. I find it absolutely invaluable, I'm forever typing
`/usr/lbi/tex/macros': typing M-$ is so much easier than moving the
cursor back to the right place and typing ^T.
Just a suggestion.
This is not implemented for 1.03, but I will implement it for a later
version.
