[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #54391] Incorrect result when attempting to type or paste UTF-8 Cyrillic text into octave CLI

[Mike Miller]

Follow-up Comment #5, bug #54391 (project octave):

Good catch. Agree with this analysis, Meta+P is 0x80 + 0x50 == 0xD0. I didn't
realize Octave was doing readline bindings internally outside of the
configurable inputrc file.

I was also able to work around this by adding either of the following two
equivalent lines to my ~/.inputrc:


"\320": self-insert
"\xd0": self-insert


This allows the byte 0xD0 to be recognized specifically by readline and passed
through as is, which seems to override the Meta+P interpretation. Meta+P will
still work in this case if the user uses the Escape key as a prefix.
