I wolike ike to have colored ls-output and = in Thsi is not a property of bash but is an option to ls. if you alias ls -G to ls in .bashrc then you'll get colours assuming your= =20 terminal admits to being prepared to display them.

I cant acess the Menu with Alt+Key, I don't know anything about jed -- answer may be in the jed iniitializati= on=20 but more likely in the way xterm delivers these key combinations to it.
