Great... this worked!

Didn't work for me though. I'm on a German keyboard layout and have to use ctrl-alt-7 to get a {. This stops working as soon as I use readline for irb.

imvho this is a problem with readline, try to get a proper .inputrc
file. It's hard on my italian box too.

But where?

I also have a Cygwin-bash available and in the shell itself I can still
type brackets.

Is there any way to fix that? If yes it should also be included into the
one-click installer.

I have no way to find a solution or test this. But if someone else can do so
and send me the solution I will include it in the installer.

Sorry to post such a late follow up, but has this been adressed yet in the beloved one-click-installer?

Seems like there is a working solution here: http://blade.nagaokaut.ac.jp/cgi-bin/scat.rb/ruby/ruby-talk/107774
(worked for me with the latest one-click-installer ruby version and german keyboard layout)

But where?

C:\mingw32\bin> type %HOME%\.inputrc
"\M-[": "["
"\M-]": "]"
"\M-{": "{"
"\M-}": "}"
"\M-\\": "\\"
"\M-|": "|"
"\M-@": "@"
"\M-~": "~"

C:\mingw32\bin> echo %HOME%
c:\home\eban

The readline stuff is working in the latest one-click installer. But the
one-click installer is not localized for different languages, so
language-specific stuff like this you would still have to take care of
yourself.

Thank you. This finally fixes the problem for me! :slight_smile:

Thanks for the quick reply :slight_smile:

Localization stuff like that would propably end in an installer script nightmare I guess? :wink:

I wouldn't mind having localized versions (in fact I think it would be a
wonderful thing to have). But right now I'm concentrating on getting more
platforms covered (OS X, Gnome, KDE, etc), and I really don't have the
bandwidth to even think about localized versions (yet).
