in thread Key bindings in the Debugger

Hi

Thanks.

And sorry, I can only speculate about a "console" issue on win mistranslating "§"

Since I don't have any Strawberry Perl running at the moment, I can't test.

I remember using another (real) terminal than cmd.exe once, which was installed as an app.

But I don't remember the name... ¹

You may want to test running perl -de0 inside another console/terminal to narrow the origin of the problem.

    I crosschecked with perl 5.38.2 under bash in MingW64 shell (from git) and there the behavior is as expected, but alas this is not suitable for debugging my application.

      Please see my footnote and install and test inside "windows terminal"

      the CMD.exe "console" has many idiosyncrasies.

      A first step should be to rule out that factor IMHO.

      edit

      I'd be very surprised if the debugger had a keybinding for §, this stems more likely from the OS/WindowManager/Console.

        I get the same problem using "windows terminal". Thanks.

        My suspicion is one of the Readline modules, which at least has a function to kill the current line content.
