This problem, and the desire to use the vi key bindings instead of the
Emacs ones for command-line editing, are the reason I invested effort to
place my login configuration under Git control, and replicate it on the
tens of hosts I find myself logged in over a working day. Now a simple
"git clone" restores sanity to my working environment.
This drives me insane! When I 'man
foo' and find the relevant bits in
the document, when I quit out of the pager I want those bits to stay on
the screen so I can refer to them, dammit! There are two shortcuts to
this, both involving custom termcap/terminfo entries.
I'm glad I'm not the only one annoyed by this "feature".
