Why don't Page U/Down, Home/End work in less on Solaris over ssh from Ubuntu? I need to work on a Solaris server over ssh from my Ubuntu (Lucid) laptop. I got Home/End Insert/Delete Page Up/Down working in csh and bash using bindkey and ~/.inputrc, respectively. But I can't figure out how to get them working in less. How can I figure out what the problem is, and fix it?

I found the answer here, in section **4.4. less (1)**.

to use it with the movement keys, have this plain ASCII file `.lesskey` in your home directory:


^[[A back-line
^[[B forw-line
^[[C right-scroll
^[[D left-scroll
^[OA back-line
^[OB forw-line
^[OC right-scroll
^[OD left-scroll
^[[6~ forw-scroll
^[[5~ back-scroll
^[[1~ goto-line
^[[4~ goto-end
^[[7~ goto-line
^[[8~ goto-end


then run the command `lesskey`. (These are escape sequences for vt100-like terminals.) This creates a binary file `.less` containing the key bindings.
