MySQL 5.1 command line problem: delete last char doesn't work
-

Question
I can't delete the last character in a given line in the MySQL CLI, if I press "END", it will jump on the character and if I press "DEL", it will delete the char before that (like backspace).
Does anybody know a fix for that issue?
I use MySQL 5.1.31-1ubuntu2-log with normal shell access.
Thank you for assistance!
Solution
The problem appears different on Linux/Windows.
Our solution was to add this line to ~/.editrc
bind -e
to see how editrc works:
OTHER TIPS
Erm ... Use cursor keys?
I heard recently that Shift-Del or Shift-Backspace works on some systems (mainly Mac), perhaps it can be used as a workaround for Ubuntu too?
Update: Does the End + Del/BS work normally when you're not inside MySQL prompt?
