Re: question about interactive.singlekey

i have recently installed debian on my laptop. I discovered that the
'interactive.singlekey' setting does not seem to work. On my desktop,
which has been debian for a while it does work. These are both debian
stable and have the exact same version of git v1.7.2.5, but
perhaps slightly different packages of other software installed. Does
the 'interactive.singlekey' setting perhaps need additional libraries
which were forgotten in the debian package dependencies?

I see this:

        eval {
                require Term::ReadKey;
                Term::ReadKey->import;
                $use_readkey = 1;

so perhaps...

    $ apt-cache search term.*readkey
    libterm-readkey-perl - A perl module for simple terminal control
