control-left and control-right not working in vim, within a screen session @romainl :-) it's also the bash commandline - because I'm often switching between bash and vim, that's probably more of a factor than the web. Bad bash. |

control-left and control-right not working in vim, within a screen session Brilliant! Both work. I found it also works if I set it in .screenrc ( term xterm), But I guess least disruptive is wisest, so I've used your conditional map answer. BTW the binding is swapped, with 5D for left, 5C for right (the opposite one would expect). So I used: map <esc>[1;5D <C-Left> and map <esc>[1;5C <C-Right> |

control-left and control-right not working in vim, within a screen session Thanks. It wasn't, I set it with term screen-256color in .screenrc, and restarting; echo $TERM confirmed the change. But it didn't solve the problem. I actually use b/w all the time - I was very surprised to find myself using ^left/^right. I blame the web. |

Partition table corrupted (USB flash drive) @Col I copied the faulty drive with dd. I also found you can cat /dev/sdc, and it will write the raw data - just like a file. I can see my data still! (so at least some of it is still there). I stripped off non-printable char, piped to less, and then searched for English words (" the " worked well, but "the" also appeared in random/executable data). So now my question is to how to recover this data - can repartition and preserve the data? I think I'd best start a new question, framed more directly using the info I now have - nobody will see it here. |

Partition table corrupted (USB flash drive) @Col OK, my case is unusual, because it hadn't been removed at that time (although a few weeks previously I removed the power supply from the USB hub it was connected to... maybe there was low power?). Also, I was only writing ordinary files, not partitioning it or anything (or does writing files also update the partition table?) |

Partition table corrupted (USB flash drive) er, the syntax should be: dd if=/dev/sdc of=mybackupfile. I googled a bit, and it's amazing to me that pipes also work with this stuff, e.g. for compressing the backup. I know it's all data, but it's surprising that it's fast enough. |

Partition table corrupted (USB flash drive) Thanks, that's a good idea! But how do I copy a file with dd? The man page talks about "files"... oh, does /dev/sdc count as a "file"? So I can just copy the entire /dev/sdc to a convention file like" dd /dev/sdc mybackupfile ? |
