I see in the man page for bash there are different keymap options for the readline editing-mode. What I don't see is any documentation on the various modes.
There are two modes - VI and emacs - emacs is the default. In the O'Riellly book on "Learning the Bash Shell" there are about 30 pages covering command line editing. Try the following command for a list of keys and their bindings bind -P 'bind -l' will give you a list of readline functions. 'bind -p' will give you a list in the format for .inputrc so you can do:- bind -p > .inputrc Hope that helps. This is only the tip of the iceburg on command line editing and the rest can't really be covered in an email. -- Regards, Graham Smith ---------------------------------------------------------
