Ansi term and cursor.

Ansi term and cursor.

[vincenzo di somma]

Hi all,
I'm using ansi-term on GNU Emacs 24.3.1 (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 3.8.2) of 2013-07-27 on roseapple, modified by Debian.
In ansi-term, I have the following issue: with the cursor at the end of the line I move back using C- <- or Alt- <- I see the cursor moving back, but as soon as I type the cursor is back at the end of the line.
Is there a way to fix it?
Thanks,
        vds

C-c C-j to enter char mode

then move around, copy what you need, etc.. use it exactly like standard
emacs

then C-c C-k to get back to line mode where it acts like a terminal.

Thanks for the super quick reply.
I'm not trying for copy/paste anything, just moving back or forward on the command line, like when you have to fix a typo.
Thanks

C-a and C-e don't work for you? I just tried that on mine and it worked
without any problems.

Yes, they do work, it's C- <- (left arrow) and C- -> (right arrow) that don't work.
