Using control keys in bash shell within emacs

Using control keys in bash shell within emacs

[Jeff Rancier]

Hi,

I'm using cygwin bash, 2.05b, as my NTEmacs shell (GNU Emacs 21.2.1
(i386-msvc-nt5.1.2600) of 2002-03-19 on buffy).  Is there any way to have
(e.g.) C-p, scroll through the history, instead of the default emacs
behaviour of moving to the previous line in a buffer.  I tried:

    set -o emacs

in my .bash_profile/.bashrc, but that didn't work.  Works fine when I kick
off cygwin bash outside of NTEmacs.  If this kind of thing doesn't work, can
someone explain the advantage of kicking off a bash shell inside of Emacs?

Thanks,
Jeff

You could just use the normal Emacs history scrolling: M-p and M-n. I think 
CTRL-up and CTRL-down work as well...

Maybe you want term-mode (M-x term) where most of your keys work as
usual and the Emacs keybindings are changed to be prefixed with C-c.
Cortrol c in the terminal is C-c C-c in Emacs' term-mode.

That's what I've been trying to do for several weeks, but it's much of a
pain to get this working on NT (for me at least).
I managed to get a correct telnet mode after quite a few hours fishing in
google, but I still cannot run my favorite curses programs (man, top,
nethack...). I tried terminal-emulator, to no avail.
I use NTemacs 21.2 (GNU distro), with latest cygwin on NT4sp6. The UNIX
servers I try to get a VT on are AIX and HP-UX (don't think it matters)

If you have useful links, .emacs snippet etc..., I'm interested.
Cheers,
