If I bind a command to <Ctrl-v>, I need to press Ctrl-v twice to invoke the command

[clarkgrubb]

I put this in my .tigrc

bind generic <Ctrl-v> move-page-down

But for some reason I need to press Ctrl-v twice to page down. If I bind move-page-down to <Ctrl-a>, I don't need to press Ctrl-a twice. I looked thru the online tig help, and I don't see any bindings for <Ctrl-v>. I am running this in Terminal.app with bash. Other curses apps seem to be able to bind Ctrl-v to commands, so it doesn't appear to be my environment.

I can reproduce this. If your other curses apps do not have this behaviour I wonder if something is missing when initializing the terminal. In bash, Ctrl-v "means" print the following keybinding verbatim so I wonder if somehow this is a terminal setting that gets carried over.

Needs to be further investigated.

OK, found a way to fix this. First verify that lnext is defined to ^V

> stty -a | grep lnext
    eol2 = <undef>; erase = ^?; intr = ^C; kill = ^U; lnext = ^V;

Then the actual fix is to "unbind" Ctrl-v to echo the next key combo using:

stty lnext undef
