in reply to Re^4: Key bindings in the Debugger
in thread Key bindings in the Debugger

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.

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

        These ReadLine modules are loaded:
        x grep {$_ =~ m{ReadLine}xms }keys %INC
0  'Term/ReadLine/readline.pm'
1  'Term/ReadLine/Perl.pm'
2  'Term/ReadLine.pm'

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

      hmm ... thanks!

      Now we need others to replicate the issue.

        CP437 only has § in the 0x15, which is in the control codes section, so maybe upder CP437, it's being treated as a NAK which might confuse Term::ReadLine

        Switching back to powershell, the chcp 65001 doesn't fix everything, because when I paste in 

        x "§"

        [download]
        I get 
        x "§"

        Specifically:

  DB<4> x Win32::GetConsoleCP()
0  65001
  DB<5> x Win32::GetConsoleOutputCP()
0  437

        when looking at the same Win32 functions under the now-working cmd.exe environment, the difference is that Win32::GetConsoleOutputCP() is 65001, not 437.

        So then in the powershell window, I tried: 

          DB<6> Win32::SetConsoleOutputCP(65001)

  DB<7> x "§"
0  '§'

        Yep.

        Hope this helps.

        edits: fix code/pre tags to get § to show up right in the various locations
