Similarly, _m_e_t_a keys are denoted by M-_k_e_y, so M-x - means Meta-X. (On keyboards without a _m_e_t_a key, M-_x means - ESC _x, i.e., press the Escape key then the _x key.

Consecutive - kills cause the text to be accumulated into one unit, - which can be yanked all at once. Commands which do not - kill text separate the chunks of text on the kill ring. - -IINNIITTIIAALLIIZZAATTIIOONN FFIILLEE - Readline is customized by putting commands in an initial- - ization file (the _i_n_p_u_t_r_c file). The name of this file is - taken from the value of the IINNPPUUTTRRCC environment variable. - If that variable is unset, the default is _~_/_._i_n_p_u_t_r_c. - When a program which uses the readline library starts up, - the init file is read, and the key bindings and variables - are set. There are only a few basic constructs allowed in - the readline init file. Blank lines are ignored. Lines - beginning with a ## are comments. Lines beginning with a $$ - indicate conditional constructs. Other lines denote key - bindings and variable settings. Each program using this - library may add its own commands and bindings. - - For example, placing - - M-Control-u: universal-argument - or - C-Meta-u: universal-argument - into the _i_n_p_u_t_r_c would make M-C-u execute the readline - command _u_n_i_v_e_r_s_a_l_-_a_r_g_u_m_e_n_t. - - The following symbolic character names are recognized - while processing key bindings: _R_U_B_O_U_T, _D_E_L, _E_S_C, _L_F_D, _N_E_W_- - _L_I_N_E, _R_E_T, _R_E_T_U_R_N, _S_P_C, _S_P_A_C_E, and _T_A_B. In addition to - command names, readline allows keys to be bound to a - string that is inserted when the key is pressed (a _m_a_c_r_o). - - - KKeeyy BBiinnddiinnggss - The syntax for controlling key bindings in the _i_n_p_u_t_r_c - file is simple. All that is required is the name of the - command or the text of a macro and a key sequence to which - it should be bound. The name may be specified in one of - two ways: as a symbolic key name, possibly with _M_e_t_a_- or - _C_o_n_t_r_o_l_- prefixes, or as a key sequence. When using the - form kkeeyynnaammee:_f_u_n_c_t_i_o_n_-_n_a_m_e or _m_a_c_r_o, _k_e_y_n_a_m_e is the name - of a key spelled out in English. For example: - - Control-u: universal-argument - Meta-Rubout: backward-kill-word - Control-o: ">&output" - - In the above example, _C_-_u is bound to the function uunniivveerr-- - ssaall--aarrgguummeenntt, _M_-_D_E_L is bound to the function bbaacckk-- - wwaarrdd--kkiillll--wwoorrdd, and _C_-_o is bound to run the macro - expressed on the right hand side (that is, to insert the - text _>_&_o_u_t_p_u_t into the line). - - - -GNU 1998 Dec 31 2 - - - - - -READLINE(3) READLINE(3) - - - In the second form, ""kkeeyysseeqq"":_f_u_n_c_t_i_o_n_-_n_a_m_e or _m_a_c_r_o, kkeeyy-- - sseeqq differs from kkeeyynnaammee above in that strings denoting an - entire key sequence may be specified by placing the - sequence within double quotes. Some GNU Emacs style key - escapes can be used, as in the following example. - - "\C-u": universal-argument - "\C-x\C-r": re-read-init-file - "\e[11~": "Function Key 1" - - In this example, _C_-_u is again bound to the function uunnii-- - vveerrssaall--aarrgguummeenntt. _C_-_x _C_-_r is bound to the function - rree--rreeaadd--iinniitt--ffiillee, and _E_S_C _[ _1 _1 _~ is bound to insert the - text FFuunnccttiioonn KKeeyy 11. The full set of GNU Emacs style - escape sequences is - \\CC-- control prefix - \\MM-- meta prefix - \\ee an escape character - \\\\ backslash - \\"" literal " - \\'' literal ' - - In addition to the GNU Emacs style escape sequences, a - second set of backslash escapes is available: - \\aa alert (bell) - \\bb backspace - \\dd delete - \\ff form feed - \\nn newline - \\rr carriage return - \\tt horizontal tab - \\vv vertical tab - \\_n_n_n the character whose ASCII code is the octal - value _n_n_n (one to three digits) - \\xx_n_n_n the character whose ASCII code is the hex- - adecimal value _n_n_n (one to three digits) - - When entering the text of a macro, single or double quotes - should be used to indicate a macro definition. Unquoted - text is assumed to be a function name. In the macro body, - the backslash escapes described above are expanded. Back- - slash will quote any other character in the macro text, - including " and '. - - BBaasshh allows the current readline key bindings to be dis- - played or modified with the bbiinndd builtin command. The - editing mode may be switched during interactive use by - using the --oo option to the sseett builtin command. Other - programs using this library provide similar mechanisms. - The _i_n_p_u_t_r_c file may be edited and re-read if a program - does not provide any other means to incorporate new bind- - ings. - - - - - -GNU 1998 Dec 31 3 - - - - - -READLINE(3) READLINE(3) - - - VVaarriiaabblleess - Readline has variables that can be used to further cus- - tomize its behavior. A variable may be set in the _i_n_p_u_t_r_c - file with a statement of the form - - sseett _v_a_r_i_a_b_l_e_-_n_a_m_e _v_a_l_u_e - - Except where noted, readline variables can take the values - OOnn or OOffff. The variables and their default values are: - - bbeellll--ssttyyllee ((aauuddiibbllee)) - Controls what happens when readline wants to ring - the terminal bell. If set to nnoonnee, readline never - rings the bell. If set to vviissiibbllee, readline uses a - visible bell if one is available. If set to aauuddii-- - bbllee, readline attempts to ring the terminal's bell. - ccoommmmeenntt--bbeeggiinn ((````##'''')) - The string that is inserted in vvii mode when the - iinnsseerrtt--ccoommmmeenntt command is executed. This command - is bound to MM--## in emacs mode and to ## in vi com- - mand mode. - ccoommpplleettiioonn--iiggnnoorree--ccaassee ((OOffff)) - If set to OOnn, readline performs filename matching - and completion in a case-insensitive fashion. - ccoommpplleettiioonn--qquueerryy--iitteemmss ((110000)) - This determines when the user is queried about - viewing the number of possible completions gener- - ated by the ppoossssiibbllee--ccoommpplleettiioonnss command. It may - be set to any integer value greater than or equal - to zero. If the number of possible completions is - greater than or equal to the value of this vari- - able, the user is asked whether or not he wishes to - view them; otherwise they are simply listed on the - terminal. - ccoonnvveerrtt--mmeettaa ((OOnn)) - If set to OOnn, readline will convert characters with - the eighth bit set to an ASCII key sequence by - stripping the eighth bit and prepending an escape - character (in effect, using escape as the _m_e_t_a _p_r_e_- - _f_i_x). - ddiissaabbllee--ccoommpplleettiioonn ((OOffff)) - If set to OOnn, readline will inhibit word comple- - tion. Completion characters will be inserted into - the line as if they had been mapped to sseellff--iinnsseerrtt. - eeddiittiinngg--mmooddee ((eemmaaccss)) - Controls whether readline begins with a set of key - bindings similar to _e_m_a_c_s or _v_i. eeddiittiinngg--mmooddee can - be set to either eemmaaccss or vvii. - eennaabbllee--kkeeyyppaadd ((OOffff)) - When set to OOnn, readline will try to enable the - application keypad when it is called. Some systems - need this to enable the arrow keys. - eexxppaanndd--ttiillddee ((OOffff)) - If set to oonn, tilde expansion is performed when - - - -GNU 1998 Dec 31 4 - - - - - -READLINE(3) READLINE(3) - - - readline attempts word completion. - hhoorriizzoonnttaall--ssccrroollll--mmooddee ((OOffff)) - When set to OOnn, makes readline use a single line - for display, scrolling the input horizontally on a - single screen line when it becomes longer than the - screen width rather than wrapping to a new line. - iinnppuutt--mmeettaa ((OOffff)) - If set to OOnn, readline will enable eight-bit input - (that is, it will not strip the high bit from the - characters it reads), regardless of what the termi- - nal claims it can support. The name mmeettaa--ffllaagg is a - synonym for this variable. - iisseeaarrcchh--tteerrmmiinnaattoorrss ((````CC--[[CC--JJ'''')) - The string of characters that should terminate an - incremental search without subsequently executing - the character as a command. If this variable has - not been given a value, the characters _E_S_C and _C_-_J - will terminate an incremental search. - kkeeyymmaapp ((eemmaaccss)) - Set the current readline keymap. The set of legal - keymap names is _e_m_a_c_s_, _e_m_a_c_s_-_s_t_a_n_d_a_r_d_, _e_m_a_c_s_-_m_e_t_a_, - _e_m_a_c_s_-_c_t_l_x_, _v_i_, _v_i_-_m_o_v_e_, _v_i_-_c_o_m_m_a_n_d, and _v_i_-_i_n_s_e_r_t. - _v_i is equivalent to _v_i_-_c_o_m_m_a_n_d; _e_m_a_c_s is equivalent - to _e_m_a_c_s_-_s_t_a_n_d_a_r_d. The default value is _e_m_a_c_s; the - value of eeddiittiinngg--mmooddee also affects the default - keymap. - mmaarrkk--ddiirreeccttoorriieess ((OOnn)) - If set to OOnn, complete<d directory names have a - slash appended. - mmaarrkk--mmooddiiffiieedd--lliinneess ((OOffff)) - If set to OOnn, history lines that have been modified - are displayed with a preceding asterisk (**). - oouuttppuutt--mmeettaa ((OOffff)) - If set to OOnn, readline will display characters with - the eighth bit set directly rather than as a meta- - prefixed escape sequence. - pprriinntt--ccoommpplleettiioonnss--hhoorriizzoonnttaallllyy ((OOffff)) - If set to OOnn, readline will display completions - with matches sorted horizontally in alphabetical - order, rather than down the screen. - sshhooww--aallll--iiff--aammbbiigguuoouuss ((OOffff)) - This alters the default behavior of the completion - functions. If set to oonn, words which have more - than one possible completion cause the matches to - be listed immediately instead of ringing the bell. - vviissiibbllee--ssttaattss ((OOffff)) - If set to OOnn, a character denoting a file's type as - reported by ssttaatt(2) is appended to the filename - when listing possible completions. - - CCoonnddiittiioonnaall CCoonnssttrruuccttss - Readline implements a facility similar in spirit to the - conditional compilation features of the C preprocessor - which allows key bindings and variable settings to be - - - -GNU 1998 Dec 31 5 - - - - - -READLINE(3) READLINE(3) - - - performed as the result of tests. There are four parser - directives used. - - $$iiff The $$iiff construct allows bindings to be made based - on the editing mode, the terminal being used, or - the application using readline. The text of the - test extends to the end of the line; no characters - are required to isolate it. - - mmooddee The mmooddee== form of the $$iiff directive is used - to test whether readline is in emacs or vi - mode. This may be used in conjunction with - the sseett kkeeyymmaapp command, for instance, to set - bindings in the _e_m_a_c_s_-_s_t_a_n_d_a_r_d and _e_m_a_c_s_- - _c_t_l_x keymaps only if readline is starting - out in emacs mode. - - tteerrmm The tteerrmm== form may be used to include termi- - nal-specific key bindings, perhaps to bind - the key sequences output by the terminal's - function keys. The word on the right side - of the == is tested against the full name of - the terminal and the portion of the terminal - name before the first --. This allows _s_u_n to - match both _s_u_n and _s_u_n_-_c_m_d, for instance. - - aapppplliiccaattiioonn - The aapppplliiccaattiioonn construct is used to include - application-specific settings. Each program - using the readline library sets the _a_p_p_l_i_c_a_- - _t_i_o_n _n_a_m_e, and an initialization file can - test for a particular value. This could be - used to bind key sequences to functions use- - ful for a specific program. For instance, - the following command adds a key sequence - that quotes the current or previous word in - Bash: - - $$iiff bash - # Quote the current or previous word - "\C-xq": "\eb\"\ef\"" - $$eennddiiff - - $$eennddiiff This command, as seen in the previous example, ter- - minates an $$iiff command. - - $$eellssee Commands in this branch of the $$iiff directive are - executed if the test fails. - - $$iinncclluuddee - This directive takes a single filename as an argu- - ment and reads commands and bindings from that - file. For example, the following directive would - read _/_e_t_c_/_i_n_p_u_t_r_c: - - - -GNU 1998 Dec 31 6 - - - - - -READLINE(3) READLINE(3) - - - $$iinncclluuddee _/_e_t_c_/_i_n_p_u_t_r_c - -SSEEAARRCCHHIINNGG - Readline provides commands for searching through the com- - mand history for lines containing a specified string. - There are two search modes: _i_n_c_r_e_m_e_n_t_a_l and _n_o_n_-_i_n_c_r_e_m_e_n_- - _t_a_l. - - Incremental searches begin before the user has finished - typing the search string. As each character of the search - string is typed, readline displays the next entry from the - history matching the string typed so far. An incremental - search requires only as many characters as needed to find - the desired history entry. The characters present in the - value of the _i_s_e_a_r_c_h_-_t_e_r_m_i_n_a_t_o_r_s variable are used to ter- - minate an incremental search. If that variable has not - been assigned a value the Escape and Control-J characters - will terminate an incremental search. Control-G will - abort an incremental search and restore the original line. - When the search is terminated, the history entry contain- - ing the search string becomes the current line. To find - other matching entries in the history list, type Control-S - or Control-R as appropriate. This will search backward or - forward in the history for the next line matching the - search string typed so far. Any other key sequence bound - to a readline command will terminate the search and exe- - cute that command. For instance, a _n_e_w_l_i_n_e will terminate - the search and accept the line, thereby executing the com- - mand from the history list. - - Non-incremental searches read the entire search string - before starting to search for matching history lines. The - search string may be typed by the user or be part of the - contents of the current line. - -EEDDIITTIINNGG CCOOMMMMAANNDDSS - The following is a list of the names of the commands and - the default key sequences to which they are bound.
