(usually C-d)
stty
. If this character is read when there are no characters
on the line, and point is at the beginning of the line, Readline
interprets it as the end of input and returns eof.
delete-char (C-d)
backward-delete-char (Rubout)
forward-backward-delete-char ()
quoted-insert (C-q or C-v)
tab-insert (M-<TAB>)
self-insert (a, b, A, 1, !, ...)
bracketed-paste-begin ()
self-insert
instead of
executing any editing commands.
Bracketed paste sets the region (the characters between point and the mark)
to the inserted text. It uses the concept of an active mark: when the
mark is active, Readline redisplay uses the terminal's standout mode to
denote the region.
transpose-chars (C-t)
transpose-words (M-t)
upcase-word (M-u)
downcase-word (M-l)
capitalize-word (M-c)
overwrite-mode ()
emacs
mode; vi
mode does overwrite differently.
Each call to readline()
starts in insert mode.
In overwrite mode, characters bound to self-insert
replace
the text at point rather than pushing the text to the right.
Characters bound to backward-delete-char
replace the character
before point with a space.
By default, this command is unbound.
