So far I've noticed the following regressions: - arrow keys stopped working in the single user shell (the new libedit depends on /usr/share/misc/termcap[.db] existing). - .inputrc doesn't work for libedit. Libedit has .editrc but I don't have one and would have to look at the man page to even know what can be put in it. I would have to look at the man page for .inputrc too, since I haven't changed mine since 1992 :-). - important functions like reverse-search-history are either missing or aren't bound to their normal Emacs keys.
