New Features in Readline + +a. The key sequence sent by the keypad `delete' key is now automatically + bound to delete-char. + +b. A negative argument to menu-complete now cycles backward through the + completion list. + +c. A new bindable readline variable: bind-tty-special-chars. If non-zero, + readline will bind the terminal special characters to their readline + equivalents when it's called (on by default). + +d. New bindable command: vi-rubout. Saves deleted text for possible + reinsertion, as with any vi-mode `text modification' command; `X' is bound + to this in vi command mode. + +e. If the rl_completion_query_items is set to a value < 0, readline never + asks the user whether or not to view the possible completions. + +f. New application-callable auxiliary function, rl_variable_value, returns + a string corresponding to a readline variable's value. + +g. When parsing inputrc files and variable binding commands, the parser + strips trailing whitespace from values assigned to boolean variables + before checking them. + +h. A new external application-controllable variable that allows the LINES + and COLUMNS environment variables to set the window size regardless of + what the kernel returns. |
