This is the behaviour of your shell (probably bash, but perhaps something<br>
else like zsh or tcsh if you have chosen to use a different shell),<br>
not the terminal. The shell controls the cursor position, the terminal just<br>
displays what the shell tells it to.<br>
<br>
I don't think this is a bug in the shell, either: I think this is<br>
the shell working the way it is designed to work. In every shell and<br>
interactive prompt I can remember using (including bash, zsh, Python<br>
and even the Quake III Arena console), scrolling back through previous<br>
commands puts the cursor at the end of the line, so that if you are passing<br>
different final arguments to a long command, you can do something like,<br>
for example:<br>
<br>
ls -al --color=always --classify /home<br>
[Up arrow]/user<br>
[Up arrow][Ctrl+W]/tmp<br>
<br>
and it will have the effect of:<br>
<br>
ls -al --color=always --classify /home<br>
ls -al --color=always --classify /home/user<br>
ls -al --color=always --classify /tmp<br>
<br>
If the behaviour that you want is (for some reason) that the cursor is<br>
placed at the beginning of lines recalled from history, then you need<br>
to choose a shell that is designed to work like that, or can be configured<br>
to work like that. I don't know whether there are any shells with that<br>
behaviour in Debian.<br>
