Ok, i have installed latest Cygwin 1.1.7 and i have created a ~/.inputrc
with the following contents:
set meta-flag on
set convert-meta off
set output-meta on
#set show-all-if-ambiguous on
I have found this in the mailing-archive and it works well for typing
German umlauts. Now i can do
"touch This-Is-A-File-With-One-Umlaut-ä" (last character is the German "a)
Ok, if i then type
"more This-Is-<TAB>"
means i do TAB-completion then bash expands correct to
"more This-Is-A-File-With-One-Umlaut-ä"
But if i do an "ls" or an "ls -lA" in this directory the dir-list is displayed
...
-rw-r--r-- 1 administ Kein 0 Jan 2 10:43 This-Is-A-File-With-One-Ulaut-?
...
Please note the ? instead of the correct ä (German "a).
What can/must i do so "ls" (and maybe other tools/commands) also displays the
German umlauts correct.
For example less displays the German umlauts if i do "export LESSCHARSET=latin1".
Is there maybe something similar for bash?

Yes, this works, look above to the ~./inputrc

Yes, i agree but often i must read foreign files and directories...
Thanks,
