Re: win32 readline - Mailing list pgsql-patches

The locale that's interesting is the Windows locale, not the pg one.
And I assume you are on english locale? Then you don't need Alt-Gr for
backslash at least, but you're saying  other Alt-Gr-key based
combinations did work?

(I've also had reports of history problems, which in at least one case
has been fixed by the disabling of readline)
