try putting the following into your ~/.inputrc file (this file is read
when bash is started)
set meta-flag on
set convert-meta off
set output-meta on
moreover I find it useful to have
"\e[1~": beginning-of-line
#"\e[2~": (einfg-Taste)
"\e[3~": delete-char
"\e[4~": end-of-line
#"\e[5~": (bild-up-Taste)
#"\e[6~": (bild-down-Taste)
"\e[A": previous-history
"\e[B": next-history
"\e[D": backward-char
"\e[C": forward-char
"\"": self-insert
in the .inputrc file. Then for example You can use the "Pos1" and "Ende"
keys on a german keyboard to go to the beginning/end of the line you are
editing.
In order to make use of this in an xterm put in $(HOME)/.Xresources
*VT100.Translations: #override <Key>BackSpace: string(0x7F)\n\
<Key>Delete: string(0x1b) string("[3~")\n\
<Key>Home: string(0x1b) string("[1~")\n\
<Key>End: string(0x1b) string("[4~")\n\
Ctrl<Key>Prior: string(0x1b) string("[40~")\n\
Ctrl<Key>Next: string(0x1b) string("[41~")
Look at
/usr/doc/HOWTO/Keyboard-and-Console-HOWTO.gz
and
/usr/doc/HOWTO/mini/Key-Setup.gz
In general /usr/doc/HOWTO/German-HOWTO.gz is useful for dealing with
german umlauts.
