I do all my postgres work using the psql shell. Editing a command reguires moving character-by-character and I'd like to use my small text editor (joe) because it allows more control over line movement. A web search found a stackexchange thread that suggested adding to ~/.bash_profile the line: export PSQL_EDITOR=/usr/bin/joe so I did this yesterday. Today I've learned that the keyboard chords I use in joe in other applications aren't working here. For example, C-w should delete the word to the right of the point (cursor location). It doesn't. Instead, it deletes from the cursor postion to the head of the line. C-x doesn't move the cursor one word to the right, but cancels the command. Is there a way for me to specify use of joe at the psql command line? (I'd use emacs but that's gross overkill.) Regards, Rich
