I found this hint while I was working with irb (ruby) and realized that I can’t type ö, ä and ü. To enable umlaut(e) do:
Terminal -> Settings -> choose “xterm-color”
Terminal -> Window settings -> Display -> Character encoding -> choose Latin-9 (UFT-8 works too but interferes with backspace)
Terminal -> Windows settings -> Emulation -> enable “convert non - ASCII characters in escape sequence”
Then put the following in your ~/.inputrc (if it’s not there create the file in your home dir):
set meta-flag ON
set input-meta On
set conver-meta Off
set output-meta On
set show-all-if-ambiguos On
That’s it. Restart Terminal.app or do “source ~/.inputrc”
