I discovered that the 'interactive.singlekey' setting does not seem to work. On my desktop, which has been debian for a while it does work. These are both debian stable and have the exact same version of git v1.7.2.5, but perhaps slightly different packages of other software installed. Does the 'interactive.singlekey' setting perhaps need additional libraries which were forgotten in the debian package dependencies? Any ideas on where to look are greatly appreciated.

I see this: eval { require Term::ReadKey; Term::ReadKey->import; $use_readkey = 1; so perhaps... $ apt-cache search term.*readkey libterm-readkey-perl - A perl module for simple terminal control ``` ## Valentin Haenel, 2011-09-06 21:33 Subject: Re: question about interactive.singlekey Message-ID: <20110906213326.GD1747@kudu.in-berlin.de> URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/20110906213326.GD1747%40kudu.in-berlin.de In-Reply-To: <7vsjo9743o.fsf@alter.siamese.dyndns.org> ``` * Junio C Hamano [110906]: > Valentin Haenel writes: > > > i have recently installed debian on my laptop.

Thanks! Should i send this downstream somewhere? It may make sense to add libterm-readkey-perl to Suggests, perhaps, but I am not a debian maintainer and I am not familiar with the policies to handle a minor dependencies like this. $ apt-cache show git | grep Maintainer Maintainer: Gerrit Pape ```
