And all programs are able to read > the keyboard without problems except irb! I wonder if this is related to the problems with using IRB from within jEdit's console shell, also on XP. Again it seems to be double-reading many keystrokes. And this is with a straight US keyboard. I assumed it was a jEdit bug but not I'm not so sure. Here is what it looks like. All I typed is: irb 2+2 Note that the 2+2 is echoed back again, and the second seems to be read twice as IRB is now in line-continuation mode. Any pointers appreciated, as I have basically given up on using irb within jEdit's console. C:\Program Files\jEdit 4.2> irb irb(main):001:0> 2 + 2 2 + 2 => 4 irb(main):002:0> irb(main):003:0*
