Ticket #58529 – Description
v4 v5 3 3 The initial issue was that the key combination {{{Fn}}}+{{{Delete}}} should forward-delete text in the command line while running {{{port}}} interactively in the shell - however, it instead produces a tilde character {{{~}}}. The attempt to fix this in {{{~/.editrc}}} was unsuccessful. (per user jmroot) 4 4 5 In attempting to find out why {{{port}}} has this behavior, it was realized that Apple's libedit doesn't actually respect the $EDITRC environment variable. As a result, it only looks at the default $HOME/.editrc, and because {{{port}}} mucks around with/alters $HOME, the user's {{{~/.editrc}}} is not found.
