SQLite3 + libedit: ESC + Backspace behaves wrong

Reported by: elzhov@… Owned by: MarcusCalhoun-Lopez (Marcus Calhoun-Lopez)
Priority: Normal Milestone:
Component: ports Version: 2.0.3
Keywords: Cc: mww@…
Port: libedit sqlite3

Description (last modified by ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt))

In the past, the sequent typing of ESC and Backspace deleted the last word, as in any readline-bound application, in the bash for instance. Now it deletes the entire line from the end to start.

$ port info sqlite3

sqlite3 uses libedit now, not readline, for licensing reasons. Perhaps libedit behaves subtly differently from readline?

Thank you for reply, you're right :-)

Well, I found that sequence ESC+Backspace editline binding "[H" is correct since it calls "ed-delete-prev-word" command. The problem seems to be just with the internal command, I tried to bind the command with another keys, and those keys delete the entire line, either.

I cannot reproduce the problem with sqlite3 @3.8.11.1_0 on OS X 10.10 Yosemite. ESC+Backspace deletes the word before the cursor, as expected.
