Hi,
I just started learning ruby. Installed on WinXP. Opened a command
window. Whenever I type a brace it appears on the creen. After typing
irb no more braces… Why? What can I do?? TIA for any help.

The same goes for square brackets and the baclslash. I am using a
german keyboard. But the german umlauts (characters with two dots on
top) appear in irb when I type them on the keyboard. Any ideas?
This has come up several times in the past. I don’t remember what the
resolution status is, but try searching for “keyboard irb” on google
groups for comp.lang.ruby. Here’s a link:

Well, you have to configure some some things for it. Sadly. Here are the
steps that worked for me.
First you have to create an .inputrc in your home dir to configure the
mappings for the braces, and so on. Your homedir is here:
C:\Dokumente und Einstellungen<Username on Windpows>
And the content should be:
“\M-[”: “[”
“\M-]”: “]”
“\M-{”: “{”
“\M-}”: “}”
“\M-\”: “\”
“\M-|”: “|”
“\M-@”: “@”
“\M-~”: “~”
In the same directory create a .ircrb file with the following content.
require ‘irb/completion’
ARGV.concat [ “–readline”, “–prompt-mode”, “simple” ]
The last step is to set a “Umgebungsvariable” /Environment variable
HOME the before mentioned diretory/path.
Afterwards it works fine for me.
Best regards,
Oliver
