20: rreeaaddlliinnee will read a line from the terminal and return it, using pprroommpptt
21: as a prompt. If pprroommpptt is NNUULLLL or the empty string, no prompt is
22: issued. The line returned is allocated with _m_a_l_l_o_c(3); the caller must
23: free it when finished. The line returned has the final newline
24: removed, so only the text of the line remains.
25:
26: rreeaaddlliinnee offers editing capabilities while the user is entering the
27: line. By default, the line editing commands are similar to those of
28: emacs. A vi-style line editing interface is also available.
29:
30: This manual page describes only the most basic use of rreeaaddlliinnee. Much
31: more functionality is available; see _T_h_e _G_N_U _R_e_a_d_l_i_n_e _L_i_b_r_a_r_y and _T_h_e
32: _G_N_U _H_i_s_t_o_r_y _L_i_b_r_a_r_y for additional information.

34: RREETTUURRNN VVAALLUUEE
35: rreeaaddlliinnee returns the text of the line read. A blank line returns the
36: empty string. If EEOOFF is encountered while reading a line, and the line
37: is empty, NNUULLLL is returned. If an EEOOFF is read with a non-empty line,
38: it is treated as a newline.
39:
40: NNOOTTAATTIIOONN
41: An Emacs-style notation is used to denote keystrokes. Control keys are
42: denoted by C-_k_e_y, e.g., C-n means Control-N. Similarly, _m_e_t_a keys are
43: denoted by M-_k_e_y, so M-x means Meta-X. (On keyboards without a _m_e_t_a
44: key, M-_x means ESC _x, i.e., press the Escape key then the _x key. This
45: makes ESC the _m_e_t_a _p_r_e_f_i_x. The combination M-C-_x means ESC-Control-_x,
46: or press the Escape key then hold the Control key while pressing the _x
47: key.)
48:
49: Readline commands may be given numeric _a_r_g_u_m_e_n_t_s, which normally act as
50: a repeat count. Sometimes, however, it is the sign of the argument
51: that is significant. Passing a negative argument to a command that
52: acts in the forward direction (e.g., kkiillll--lliinnee) causes that command to
53: act in a backward direction. Commands whose behavior with arguments
54: deviates from this are noted.
55:
56: When a command is described as _k_i_l_l_i_n_g text, the text deleted is saved
57: for possible future retrieval (_y_a_n_k_i_n_g). The killed text is saved in a
58: _k_i_l_l _r_i_n_g. Consecutive kills cause the text to be accumulated into one
59: unit, which can be yanked all at once. Commands which do not kill text
60: separate the chunks of text on the kill ring.
61:
62: IINNIITTIIAALLIIZZAATTIIOONN FFIILLEE
63: Readline is customized by putting commands in an initialization file
64: (the _i_n_p_u_t_r_c file). The name of this file is taken from the value of
65: the IINNPPUUTTRRCC environment variable. If that variable is unset, the
66: default is _~_/_._i_n_p_u_t_r_c. If that file does not exist or cannot be read,
67: the ultimate default is _/_e_t_c_/_i_n_p_u_t_r_c. When a program which uses the
68: readline library starts up, the init file is read, and the key bindings
69: and variables are set. There are only a few basic constructs allowed
70: in the readline init file. Blank lines are ignored. Lines beginning
71: with a ## are comments. Lines beginning with a $$ indicate conditional
72: constructs. Other lines denote key bindings and variable settings.
73: Each program using this library may add its own commands and bindings.
74:
75: For example, placing
76:
77: M-Control-u: universal-argument
78: or
79: C-Meta-u: universal-argument
80:
81: into the _i_n_p_u_t_r_c would make M-C-u execute the readline command _u_n_i_v_e_r_-
82: _s_a_l_-_a_r_g_u_m_e_n_t.
83:
84: The following symbolic character names are recognized while processing
85: key bindings: _D_E_L, _E_S_C, _E_S_C_A_P_E, _L_F_D, _N_E_W_L_I_N_E, _R_E_T, _R_E_T_U_R_N, _R_U_B_O_U_T,
86: _S_P_A_C_E, _S_P_C, and _T_A_B.
87:
88: In addition to command names, readline allows keys to be bound to a
89: string that is inserted when the key is pressed (a _m_a_c_r_o).
90:
91:
92: KKeeyy BBiinnddiinnggss
93: The syntax for controlling key bindings in the _i_n_p_u_t_r_c file is simple.
94: All that is required is the name of the command or the text of a macro
95: and a key sequence to which it should be bound. The name may be speci-
96: fied in one of two ways: as a symbolic key name, possibly with _M_e_t_a_- or
97: _C_o_n_t_r_o_l_- prefixes, or as a key sequence. The name and key sequence are
98: separated by a colon. There can be no whitespace between the name and
99: the colon.
100:
101: 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
102: of a key spelled out in English. For example:
103:
104: Control-u: universal-argument
105: Meta-Rubout: backward-kill-word
106: Control-o: "> output"
107:
108: In the above example, _C_-_u is bound to the function uunniivveerrssaall--aarrgguummeenntt,
109: _M_-_D_E_L is bound to the function bbaacckkwwaarrdd--kkiillll--wwoorrdd, and _C_-_o is bound to
110: run the macro expressed on the right hand side (that is, to insert the
111: text ``> output'' into the line).
112:
113: In the second form, ""kkeeyysseeqq"":_f_u_n_c_t_i_o_n_-_n_a_m_e or _m_a_c_r_o, kkeeyysseeqq differs
114: from kkeeyynnaammee above in that strings denoting an entire key sequence may
115: be specified by placing the sequence within double quotes. Some GNU
116: Emacs style key escapes can be used, as in the following example, but
117: the symbolic character names are not recognized.
118:
119: "\C-u": universal-argument
120: "\C-x\C-r": re-read-init-file
121: "\e[11~": "Function Key 1"
122:
123: In this example, _C_-_u is again bound to the function uunniivveerrssaall--aarrgguummeenntt.
124: _C_-_x _C_-_r is bound to the function rree--rreeaadd--iinniitt--ffiillee, and _E_S_C _[ _1 _1 _~ is
125: bound to insert the text ``Function Key 1''.
126:
127: The full set of GNU Emacs style escape sequences available when speci-
128: fying key sequences is
129: \\CC-- control prefix
130: \\MM-- meta prefix
131: \\ee an escape character
132: \\\\ backslash
133: \\"" literal ", a double quote
134: \\'' literal ', a single quote
135:
136: In addition to the GNU Emacs style escape sequences, a second set of
137: backslash escapes is available:
138: \\aa alert (bell)
139: \\bb backspace
140: \\dd delete
141: \\ff form feed
142: \\nn newline
143: \\rr carriage return
144: \\tt horizontal tab
145: \\vv vertical tab
146: \\_n_n_n the eight-bit character whose value is the octal value
147: _n_n_n (one to three digits)
148: \\xx_H_H the eight-bit character whose value is the hexadecimal
149: value _H_H (one or two hex digits)
150:
151: When entering the text of a macro, single or double quotes should be
152: used to indicate a macro definition. Unquoted text is assumed to be a
153: function name. In the macro body, the backslash escapes described
154: above are expanded. Backslash will quote any other character in the
155: macro text, including " and '.
156:
157: BBaasshh allows the current readline key bindings to be displayed or modi-
158: fied with the bbiinndd builtin command. The editing mode may be switched
159: during interactive use by using the --oo option to the sseett builtin com-
160: mand. Other programs using this library provide similar mechanisms.
161: The _i_n_p_u_t_r_c file may be edited and re-read if a program does not pro-
162: vide any other means to incorporate new bindings.
163:
164: VVaarriiaabblleess
165: Readline has variables that can be used to further customize its behav-
166: ior. A variable may be set in the _i_n_p_u_t_r_c file with a statement of the
167: form
168:
169: sseett _v_a_r_i_a_b_l_e_-_n_a_m_e _v_a_l_u_e
170:
171: Except where noted, readline variables can take the values OOnn or OOffff
172: (without regard to case). Unrecognized variable names are ignored.
173: When a variable value is read, empty or null values, "on" (case-insen-
174: sitive), and "1" are equivalent to OOnn. All other values are equivalent
175: to OOffff. The variables and their default values are:
176:
177: bbeellll--ssttyyllee ((aauuddiibbllee))
178: Controls what happens when readline wants to ring the terminal
179: bell. If set to nnoonnee, readline never rings the bell. If set to
180: vviissiibbllee, readline uses a visible bell if one is available. If
181: set to aauuddiibbllee, readline attempts to ring the terminal's bell.
182: bbiinndd--ttttyy--ssppeecciiaall--cchhaarrss ((OOnn))
183: If set to OOnn, readline attempts to bind the control characters
184: treated specially by the kernel's terminal driver to their read-
185: line equivalents.
186: ccoolloorreedd--ssttaattss ((OOffff))
187: If set to OOnn, readline displays possible completions using dif-
188: ferent colors to indicate their file type. The color defini-
189: tions are taken from the value of the LLSS__CCOOLLOORRSS environment
190: variable.
191: ccoommmmeenntt--bbeeggiinn ((````##''''))
192: The string that is inserted in vvii mode when the iinnsseerrtt--ccoommmmeenntt
193: command is executed. This command is bound to MM--## in emacs mode
194: and to ## in vi command mode.
195: ccoommpplleettiioonn--ddiissppllaayy--wwiiddtthh ((--11))
196: The number of screen columns used to display possible matches
197: when performing completion. The value is ignored if it is less
198: than 0 or greater than the terminal screen width. A value of 0
199: will cause matches to be displayed one per line. The default
200: value is -1.
201: ccoommpplleettiioonn--iiggnnoorree--ccaassee ((OOffff))
202: If set to OOnn, readline performs filename matching and completion
203: in a case-insensitive fashion.
204: ccoommpplleettiioonn--mmaapp--ccaassee ((OOffff))
205: If set to OOnn, and ccoommpplleettiioonn--iiggnnoorree--ccaassee is enabled, readline
206: treats hyphens (_-) and underscores (__) as equivalent when per-
207: forming case-insensitive filename matching and completion.
208: ccoommpplleettiioonn--pprreeffiixx--ddiissppllaayy--lleennggtthh ((00))
209: The length in characters of the common prefix of a list of pos-
210: sible completions that is displayed without modification. When
211: set to a value greater than zero, common prefixes longer than
212: this value are replaced with an ellipsis when displaying possi-
213: ble completions.
214: ccoommpplleettiioonn--qquueerryy--iitteemmss ((110000))
215: This determines when the user is queried about viewing the num-
216: ber of possible completions generated by the ppoossssiibbllee--ccoommppllee--
217: ttiioonnss command. It may be set to any integer value greater than
218: or equal to zero. If the number of possible completions is
219: greater than or equal to the value of this variable, the user is
220: asked whether or not he wishes to view them; otherwise they are
221: simply listed on the terminal. A negative value causes readline
222: to never ask.
223: ccoonnvveerrtt--mmeettaa ((OOnn))
224: If set to OOnn, readline will convert characters with the eighth
225: bit set to an ASCII key sequence by stripping the eighth bit and
226: prefixing it with an escape character (in effect, using escape
227: as the _m_e_t_a _p_r_e_f_i_x).
228: ddiissaabbllee--ccoommpplleettiioonn ((OOffff))
229: If set to OOnn, readline will inhibit word completion. Completion
230: characters will be inserted into the line as if they had been
231: mapped to sseellff--iinnsseerrtt.
232: eeddiittiinngg--mmooddee ((eemmaaccss))
233: Controls whether readline begins with a set of key bindings sim-
234: ilar to _E_m_a_c_s or _v_i. eeddiittiinngg--mmooddee can be set to either eemmaaccss or
235: vvii.
236: eecchhoo--ccoonnttrrooll--cchhaarraacctteerrss ((OOnn))
237: When set to OOnn, on operating systems that indicate they support
238: it, readline echoes a character corresponding to a signal gener-
239: ated from the keyboard.
240: eennaabbllee--kkeeyyppaadd ((OOffff))
241: When set to OOnn, readline will try to enable the application key-
242: pad when it is called. Some systems need this to enable the
243: arrow keys.
244: eennaabbllee--mmeettaa--kkeeyy ((OOnn))
245: When set to OOnn, readline will try to enable any meta modifier
246: key the terminal claims to support when it is called. On many
247: terminals, the meta key is used to send eight-bit characters.
248: eexxppaanndd--ttiillddee ((OOffff))
249: If set to OOnn, tilde expansion is performed when readline
250: attempts word completion.
251: hhiissttoorryy--pprreesseerrvvee--ppooiinntt ((OOffff))
252: If set to OOnn, the history code attempts to place point at the
253: same location on each history line retrieved with pprreevviioouuss--hhiiss--
254: ttoorryy or nneexxtt--hhiissttoorryy.
255: hhiissttoorryy--ssiizzee ((00))
256: Set the maximum number of history entries saved in the history
257: list. If set to zero, any existing history entries are deleted
258: and no new entries are saved. If set to a value less than zero,
259: the number of history entries is not limited. By default, the
260: number of history entries is not limited.
261: hhoorriizzoonnttaall--ssccrroollll--mmooddee ((OOffff))
262: When set to OOnn, makes readline use a single line for display,
263: scrolling the input horizontally on a single screen line when it
264: becomes longer than the screen width rather than wrapping to a
265: new line.
266: iinnppuutt--mmeettaa ((OOffff))
267: If set to OOnn, readline will enable eight-bit input (that is, it
268: will not clear the eighth bit in the characters it reads),
269: regardless of what the terminal claims it can support. The name
270: mmeettaa--ffllaagg is a synonym for this variable.
271: iisseeaarrcchh--tteerrmmiinnaattoorrss ((````CC--[[ CC--JJ''''))
272: The string of characters that should terminate an incremental
273: search without subsequently executing the character as a com-
274: mand. If this variable has not been given a value, the charac-
275: ters _E_S_C and _C_-_J will terminate an incremental search.
276: kkeeyymmaapp ((eemmaaccss))
277: Set the current readline keymap. The set of legal keymap names
278: 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_,
279: _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;
280: _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
281: _e_m_a_c_s. The value of eeddiittiinngg--mmooddee also affects the default
282: keymap.
283: kkeeyysseeqq--ttiimmeeoouutt ((550000))
284: Specifies the duration _r_e_a_d_l_i_n_e will wait for a character when
285: reading an ambiguous key sequence (one that can form a complete
286: key sequence using the input read so far, or can take additional
287: input to complete a longer key sequence). If no input is
288: received within the timeout, _r_e_a_d_l_i_n_e will use the shorter but
289: complete key sequence. The value is specified in milliseconds,
290: so a value of 1000 means that _r_e_a_d_l_i_n_e will wait one second for
291: additional input. If this variable is set to a value less than
292: or equal to zero, or to a non-numeric value, _r_e_a_d_l_i_n_e will wait
293: until another key is pressed to decide which key sequence to
294: complete.
295: mmaarrkk--ddiirreeccttoorriieess ((OOnn))
296: If set to OOnn, completed directory names have a slash appended.
297: mmaarrkk--mmooddiiffiieedd--lliinneess ((OOffff))
298: If set to OOnn, history lines that have been modified are dis-
299: played with a preceding asterisk (**).
300: mmaarrkk--ssyymmlliinnkkeedd--ddiirreeccttoorriieess ((OOffff))
301: If set to OOnn, completed names which are symbolic links to direc-
302: tories have a slash appended (subject to the value of
303: mmaarrkk--ddiirreeccttoorriieess).
304: mmaattcchh--hhiiddddeenn--ffiilleess ((OOnn))
305: This variable, when set to OOnn, causes readline to match files
306: whose names begin with a `.' (hidden files) when performing
307: filename completion. If set to OOffff, the leading `.' must be
308: supplied by the user in the filename to be completed.
309: mmeennuu--ccoommpplleettee--ddiissppllaayy--pprreeffiixx ((OOffff))
310: If set to OOnn, menu completion displays the common prefix of the
311: list of possible completions (which may be empty) before cycling
312: through the list.
313: oouuttppuutt--mmeettaa ((OOffff))
314: If set to OOnn, readline will display characters with the eighth
315: bit set directly rather than as a meta-prefixed escape sequence.
316: ppaaggee--ccoommpplleettiioonnss ((OOnn))
317: If set to OOnn, readline uses an internal _m_o_r_e-like pager to dis-
318: play a screenful of possible completions at a time.
319: pprriinntt--ccoommpplleettiioonnss--hhoorriizzoonnttaallllyy ((OOffff))
320: If set to OOnn, readline will display completions with matches
321: sorted horizontally in alphabetical order, rather than down the
322: screen.
323: rreevveerrtt--aallll--aatt--nneewwlliinnee ((OOffff))
324: If set to OOnn, readline will undo all changes to history lines
325: before returning when aacccceepptt--lliinnee is executed. By default, his-
326: tory lines may be modified and retain individual undo lists
327: across calls to rreeaaddlliinnee.
328: sshhooww--aallll--iiff--aammbbiigguuoouuss ((OOffff))
329: This alters the default behavior of the completion functions.
330: If set to OOnn, words which have more than one possible completion
331: cause the matches to be listed immediately instead of ringing
332: the bell.
333: sshhooww--aallll--iiff--uunnmmooddiiffiieedd ((OOffff))
334: This alters the default behavior of the completion functions in
335: a fashion similar to sshhooww--aallll--iiff--aammbbiigguuoouuss. If set to OOnn, words
336: which have more than one possible completion without any possi-
337: ble partial completion (the possible completions don't share a
338: common prefix) cause the matches to be listed immediately
339: instead of ringing the bell.
340: sshhooww--mmooddee--iinn--pprroommpptt ((OOffff))
341: If set to OOnn, add a character to the beginning of the prompt
342: indicating the editing mode: emacs (@), vi command (:) or vi
343: insertion (+).
344: sskkiipp--ccoommpplleetteedd--tteexxtt ((OOffff))
345: If set to OOnn, this alters the default completion behavior when
346: inserting a single match into the line. It's only active when
347: performing completion in the middle of a word. If enabled,
348: readline does not insert characters from the completion that
349: match characters after point in the word being completed, so
350: portions of the word following the cursor are not duplicated.
351: vviissiibbllee--ssttaattss ((OOffff))
352: If set to OOnn, a character denoting a file's type as reported by
353: _s_t_a_t(2) is appended to the filename when listing possible com-
354: pletions.
355:
356: CCoonnddiittiioonnaall CCoonnssttrruuccttss
357: Readline implements a facility similar in spirit to the conditional
358: compilation features of the C preprocessor which allows key bindings
359: and variable settings to be performed as the result of tests. There
360: are four parser directives used.
361:
362: $$iiff The $$iiff construct allows bindings to be made based on the edit-
363: ing mode, the terminal being used, or the application using
364: readline. The text of the test extends to the end of the line;
365: no characters are required to isolate it.
366:
367: mmooddee The mmooddee== form of the $$iiff directive is used to test
368: whether readline is in emacs or vi mode. This may be
369: used in conjunction with the sseett kkeeyymmaapp command, for
370: instance, to set bindings in the _e_m_a_c_s_-_s_t_a_n_d_a_r_d and
371: _e_m_a_c_s_-_c_t_l_x keymaps only if readline is starting out in
372: emacs mode.
373:
374: tteerrmm The tteerrmm== form may be used to include terminal-specific
375: key bindings, perhaps to bind the key sequences output by
376: the terminal's function keys. The word on the right side
377: of the == is tested against the full name of the terminal
378: and the portion of the terminal name before the first --.
379: This allows _s_u_n to match both _s_u_n and _s_u_n_-_c_m_d, for
380: instance.
381:
382: aapppplliiccaattiioonn
383: The aapppplliiccaattiioonn construct is used to include application-
384: specific settings. Each program using the readline
385: library sets the _a_p_p_l_i_c_a_t_i_o_n _n_a_m_e, and an initialization
386: file can test for a particular value. This could be used
387: to bind key sequences to functions useful for a specific
388: program. For instance, the following command adds a key
389: sequence that quotes the current or previous word in
390: bbaasshh:
391:
392: $$iiff Bash
393: # Quote the current or previous word
394: "\C-xq": "\eb\"\ef\""
395: $$eennddiiff
396:
397: $$eennddiiff This command, as seen in the previous example, terminates an $$iiff
398: command.
399:
400: $$eellssee Commands in this branch of the $$iiff directive are executed if the
401: test fails.
402:
403: $$iinncclluuddee
404: This directive takes a single filename as an argument and reads
405: commands and bindings from that file. For example, the follow-
406: ing directive would read _/_e_t_c_/_i_n_p_u_t_r_c:
407:
408: $$iinncclluuddee _/_e_t_c_/_i_n_p_u_t_r_c
409:
410: SSEEAARRCCHHIINNGG
411: Readline provides commands for searching through the command history
412: for lines containing a specified string. There are two search modes:
413: _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.
414:
415: Incremental searches begin before the user has finished typing the
416: search string. As each character of the search string is typed, read-
417: line displays the next entry from the history matching the string typed
418: so far. An incremental search requires only as many characters as
419: needed to find the desired history entry. To search backward in the
420: history for a particular string, type CC--rr. Typing CC--ss searches forward
421: through the history. The characters present in the value of the
422: iisseeaarrcchh--tteerrmmiinnaattoorrss variable are used to terminate an incremental
423: search. If that variable has not been assigned a value the _E_s_c_a_p_e and
424: CC--JJ characters will terminate an incremental search. CC--GG will abort an
425: incremental search and restore the original line. When the search is
426: terminated, the history entry containing the search string becomes the
427: current line.
428:
429: To find other matching entries in the history list, type CC--ss or CC--rr as
430: appropriate. This will search backward or forward in the history for
431: the next line matching the search string typed so far. Any other key
432: sequence bound to a readline command will terminate the search and exe-
433: cute that command. For instance, a newline will terminate the search
434: and accept the line, thereby executing the command from the history
435: list. A movement command will terminate the search, make the last line
436: found the current line, and begin editing.
437:
438: Non-incremental searches read the entire search string before starting
439: to search for matching history lines. The search string may be typed
440: by the user or be part of the contents of the current line.

442: EEDDIITTIINNGG CCOOMMMMAANNDDSS
443: The following is a list of the names of the commands and the default
444: key sequences to which they are bound. Command names without an accom-
445: panying key sequence are unbound by default.
446:
447: In the following descriptions, _p_o_i_n_t refers to the current cursor posi-
448: tion, and _m_a_r_k refers to a cursor position saved by the sseett--mmaarrkk com-
449: mand. The text between the point and mark is referred to as the
450: _r_e_g_i_o_n.
451:
452: CCoommmmaannddss ffoorr MMoovviinngg
453: bbeeggiinnnniinngg--ooff--lliinnee ((CC--aa))

466: are composed of alphanumeric characters (letters and digits).
467: cclleeaarr--ssccrreeeenn ((CC--ll))
468: Clear the screen leaving the current line at the top of the
469: screen. With an argument, refresh the current line without
470: clearing the screen.
471: rreeddrraaww--ccuurrrreenntt--lliinnee
472: Refresh the current line.
473:
474: CCoommmmaannddss ffoorr MMaanniippuullaattiinngg tthhee HHiissttoorryy
475: aacccceepptt--lliinnee ((NNeewwlliinnee,, RReettuurrnn))
476: Accept the line regardless of where the cursor is. If this line
477: is non-empty, it may be added to the history list for future
478: recall with aadddd__hhiissttoorryy(()). If the line is a modified history
479: line, the history line is restored to its original state.
480: pprreevviioouuss--hhiissttoorryy ((CC--pp))
481: Fetch the previous command from the history list, moving back in
482: the list.
483: nneexxtt--hhiissttoorryy ((CC--nn))
484: Fetch the next command from the history list, moving forward in
485: the list.
486: bbeeggiinnnniinngg--ooff--hhiissttoorryy ((MM--<<))
487: Move to the first line in the history.
488: eenndd--ooff--hhiissttoorryy ((MM-->>))
489: Move to the end of the input history, i.e., the line currently
490: being entered.
491: rreevveerrssee--sseeaarrcchh--hhiissttoorryy ((CC--rr))
492: Search backward starting at the current line and moving `up'
493: through the history as necessary. This is an incremental
494: search.
495: ffoorrwwaarrdd--sseeaarrcchh--hhiissttoorryy ((CC--ss))
496: Search forward starting at the current line and moving `down'
497: through the history as necessary. This is an incremental
498: search.
499: nnoonn--iinnccrreemmeennttaall--rreevveerrssee--sseeaarrcchh--hhiissttoorryy ((MM--pp))
500: Search backward through the history starting at the current line
501: using a non-incremental search for a string supplied by the
502: user.
503: nnoonn--iinnccrreemmeennttaall--ffoorrwwaarrdd--sseeaarrcchh--hhiissttoorryy ((MM--nn))
504: Search forward through the history using a non-incremental
505: search for a string supplied by the user.
506: hhiissttoorryy--sseeaarrcchh--bbaacckkwwaarrdd
507: Search backward through the history for the string of characters
508: between the start of the current line and the current cursor
509: position (the _p_o_i_n_t). The search string must match at the
510: beginning of a history line. This is a non-incremental search.
511: hhiissttoorryy--sseeaarrcchh--ffoorrwwaarrdd
512: Search forward through the history for the string of characters
513: between the start of the current line and the point. The search
514: string must match at the beginning of a history line. This is a
515: non-incremental search.
516: hhiissttoorryy--ssuubbssttrriinngg--sseeaarrcchh--bbaacckkwwaarrdd
517: Search backward through the history for the string of characters
518: between the start of the current line and the current cursor
519: position (the _p_o_i_n_t). The search string may match anywhere in a
520: history line. This is a non-incremental search.
521: hhiissttoorryy--ssuubbssttrriinngg--sseeaarrcchh--ffoorrwwaarrdd
522: Search forward through the history for the string of characters
523: between the start of the current line and the point. The search
524: string may match anywhere in a history line. This is a non-
525: incremental search.
526: yyaannkk--nntthh--aarrgg ((MM--CC--yy))
527: Insert the first argument to the previous command (usually the
528: second word on the previous line) at point. With an argument _n,
529: insert the _nth word from the previous command (the words in the
530: previous command begin with word 0). A negative argument
531: inserts the _nth word from the end of the previous command. Once
532: the argument _n is computed, the argument is extracted as if the
533: "!_n" history expansion had been specified.
534: yyaannkk--llaasstt--aarrgg ((MM--..,, MM--__))
535: Insert the last argument to the previous command (the last word
536: of the previous history entry). With a numeric argument, behave
537: exactly like yyaannkk--nntthh--aarrgg. Successive calls to yyaannkk--llaasstt--aarrgg
538: move back through the history list, inserting the last word (or
539: the word specified by the argument to the first call) of each
540: line in turn. Any numeric argument supplied to these successive
541: calls determines the direction to move through the history. A
542: negative argument switches the direction through the history
543: (back or forward). The history expansion facilities are used to
544: extract the last argument, as if the "!$" history expansion had
545: been specified.
546:
547: CCoommmmaannddss ffoorr CChhaannggiinngg TTeexxtt
548: _e_n_d_-_o_f_-_f_i_l_e ((uussuuaallllyy CC--dd))
549: The character indicating end-of-file as set, for example, by
550: ``stty''. If this character is read when there are no charac-
551: ters on the line, and point is at the beginning of the line,
552: Readline interprets it as the end of input and returns EEOOFF.
553: ddeelleettee--cchhaarr ((CC--dd))
554: Delete the character at point. If this function is bound to the
555: same character as the tty EEOOFF character, as CC--dd commonly is, see
556: above for the effects.
557: bbaacckkwwaarrdd--ddeelleettee--cchhaarr ((RRuubboouutt))
558: Delete the character behind the cursor. When given a numeric
559: argument, save the deleted text on the kill ring.
560: ffoorrwwaarrdd--bbaacckkwwaarrdd--ddeelleettee--cchhaarr
561: Delete the character under the cursor, unless the cursor is at
562: the end of the line, in which case the character behind the cur-
563: sor is deleted.
564: qquuootteedd--iinnsseerrtt ((CC--qq,, CC--vv))
565: Add the next character that you type to the line verbatim. This
566: is how to insert characters like CC--qq, for example.
567: ttaabb--iinnsseerrtt ((MM--TTAABB))
568: Insert a tab character.
569: sseellff--iinnsseerrtt ((aa,, bb,, AA,, 11,, !!,, ......))
570: Insert the character typed.
571: ttrraannssppoossee--cchhaarrss ((CC--tt))
572: Drag the character before point forward over the character at
573: point, moving point forward as well. If point is at the end of
574: the line, then this transposes the two characters before point.
575: Negative arguments have no effect.
576: ttrraannssppoossee--wwoorrddss ((MM--tt))
577: Drag the word before point past the word after point, moving
578: point over that word as well. If point is at the end of the
579: line, this transposes the last two words on the line.
580: uuppccaassee--wwoorrdd ((MM--uu))
581: Uppercase the current (or following) word. With a negative
582: argument, uppercase the previous word, but do not move point.
583: ddoowwnnccaassee--wwoorrdd ((MM--ll))
584: Lowercase the current (or following) word. With a negative
585: argument, lowercase the previous word, but do not move point.
586: ccaappiittaalliizzee--wwoorrdd ((MM--cc))
587: Capitalize the current (or following) word. With a negative
588: argument, capitalize the previous word, but do not move point.
589: oovveerrwwrriittee--mmooddee
590: Toggle overwrite mode. With an explicit positive numeric argu-
591: ment, switches to overwrite mode. With an explicit non-positive
592: numeric argument, switches to insert mode. This command affects
593: only eemmaaccss mode; vvii mode does overwrite differently. Each call
594: to _r_e_a_d_l_i_n_e_(_) starts in insert mode. In overwrite mode, charac-
595: ters bound to sseellff--iinnsseerrtt replace the text at point rather than
596: pushing the text to the right. Characters bound to bbaacckk--
597: wwaarrdd--ddeelleettee--cchhaarr replace the character before point with a
598: space. By default, this command is unbound.
599:
600: KKiilllliinngg aanndd YYaannkkiinngg
601: kkiillll--lliinnee ((CC--kk))
602: Kill the text from point to the end of the line.
603: bbaacckkwwaarrdd--kkiillll--lliinnee ((CC--xx RRuubboouutt))
604: Kill backward to the beginning of the line.
605: uunniixx--lliinnee--ddiissccaarrdd ((CC--uu))
606: Kill backward from point to the beginning of the line. The
607: killed text is saved on the kill-ring.
608: kkiillll--wwhhoollee--lliinnee
609: Kill all characters on the current line, no matter where point
610: is.
611: kkiillll--wwoorrdd ((MM--dd))
612: Kill from point the end of the current word, or if between
613: words, to the end of the next word. Word boundaries are the
614: same as those used by ffoorrwwaarrdd--wwoorrdd.
615: bbaacckkwwaarrdd--kkiillll--wwoorrdd ((MM--RRuubboouutt))
616: Kill the word behind point. Word boundaries are the same as
617: those used by bbaacckkwwaarrdd--wwoorrdd.
618: uunniixx--wwoorrdd--rruubboouutt ((CC--ww))
619: Kill the word behind point, using white space as a word bound-
620: ary. The killed text is saved on the kill-ring.
621: uunniixx--ffiilleennaammee--rruubboouutt
622: Kill the word behind point, using white space and the slash
623: character as the word boundaries. The killed text is saved on
624: the kill-ring.
625: ddeelleettee--hhoorriizzoonnttaall--ssppaaccee ((MM--\\))
626: Delete all spaces and tabs around point.
627: kkiillll--rreeggiioonn
628: Kill the text between the point and _m_a_r_k (saved cursor posi-
629: tion). This text is referred to as the _r_e_g_i_o_n.
630: ccooppyy--rreeggiioonn--aass--kkiillll
631: Copy the text in the region to the kill buffer.
632: ccooppyy--bbaacckkwwaarrdd--wwoorrdd
633: Copy the word before point to the kill buffer. The word bound-
634: aries are the same as bbaacckkwwaarrdd--wwoorrdd.
635: ccooppyy--ffoorrwwaarrdd--wwoorrdd
636: Copy the word following point to the kill buffer. The word
637: boundaries are the same as ffoorrwwaarrdd--wwoorrdd.
638: yyaannkk ((CC--yy))
639: Yank the top of the kill ring into the buffer at point.
640: yyaannkk--ppoopp ((MM--yy))
641: Rotate the kill ring, and yank the new top. Only works follow-
642: ing yyaannkk or yyaannkk--ppoopp.
643:
644: NNuummeerriicc AArrgguummeennttss
645: ddiiggiitt--aarrgguummeenntt ((MM--00,, MM--11,, ......,, MM----))
646: Add this digit to the argument already accumulating, or start a
647: new argument. M-- starts a negative argument.
648: uunniivveerrssaall--aarrgguummeenntt
649: This is another way to specify an argument. If this command is
650: followed by one or more digits, optionally with a leading minus
651: sign, those digits define the argument. If the command is fol-
652: lowed by digits, executing uunniivveerrssaall--aarrgguummeenntt again ends the
653: numeric argument, but is otherwise ignored. As a special case,
654: if this command is immediately followed by a character that is
655: neither a digit or minus sign, the argument count for the next
656: command is multiplied by four. The argument count is initially
657: one, so executing this function the first time makes the argu-
658: ment count four, a second time makes the argument count sixteen,
659: and so on.
660:
661: CCoommpplleettiinngg
662: ccoommpplleettee ((TTAABB))
663: Attempt to perform completion on the text before point. The
664: actual completion performed is application-specific. BBaasshh, for
665: instance, attempts completion treating the text as a variable
666: (if the text begins with $$), username (if the text begins with
667: ~~), hostname (if the text begins with @@), or command (including
668: aliases and functions) in turn. If none of these produces a
669: match, filename completion is attempted. GGddbb, on the other
670: hand, allows completion of program functions and variables, and
671: only attempts filename completion under certain circumstances.
672: ppoossssiibbllee--ccoommpplleettiioonnss ((MM--??))
673: List the possible completions of the text before point. When
674: displaying completions, readline sets the number of columns used
675: for display to the value of ccoommpplleettiioonn--ddiissppllaayy--wwiiddtthh, the value
676: of the environment variable CCOOLLUUMMNNSS, or the screen width, in
677: that order.
678: iinnsseerrtt--ccoommpplleettiioonnss ((MM--**))
679: Insert all completions of the text before point that would have
680: been generated by ppoossssiibbllee--ccoommpplleettiioonnss.
681: mmeennuu--ccoommpplleettee
682: Similar to ccoommpplleettee, but replaces the word to be completed with
683: a single match from the list of possible completions. Repeated
684: execution of mmeennuu--ccoommpplleettee steps through the list of possible
685: completions, inserting each match in turn. At the end of the
686: list of completions, the bell is rung (subject to the setting of
687: bbeellll--ssttyyllee) and the original text is restored. An argument of _n
688: moves _n positions forward in the list of matches; a negative
689: argument may be used to move backward through the list. This
690: command is intended to be bound to TTAABB, but is unbound by
691: default.
692: mmeennuu--ccoommpplleettee--bbaacckkwwaarrdd
693: Identical to mmeennuu--ccoommpplleettee, but moves backward through the list
694: of possible completions, as if mmeennuu--ccoommpplleettee had been given a
695: negative argument. This command is unbound by default.
696: ddeelleettee--cchhaarr--oorr--lliisstt
697: Deletes the character under the cursor if not at the beginning
698: or end of the line (like ddeelleettee--cchhaarr). If at the end of the
699: line, behaves identically to ppoossssiibbllee--ccoommpplleettiioonnss.
700:
701: KKeeyybbooaarrdd MMaaccrrooss
702: ssttaarrtt--kkbbdd--mmaaccrroo ((CC--xx (())
703: Begin saving the characters typed into the current keyboard
704: macro.
705: eenndd--kkbbdd--mmaaccrroo ((CC--xx ))))
706: Stop saving the characters typed into the current keyboard macro
707: and store the definition.
708: ccaallll--llaasstt--kkbbdd--mmaaccrroo ((CC--xx ee))
709: Re-execute the last keyboard macro defined, by making the char-
710: acters in the macro appear as if typed at the keyboard.
711: pprriinntt--llaasstt--kkbbdd--mmaaccrroo (()) Print the last keyboard macro defined in
712: a format suitable for the _i_n_p_u_t_r_c file.
713:
714: MMiisscceellllaanneeoouuss
715: rree--rreeaadd--iinniitt--ffiillee ((CC--xx CC--rr))
716: Read in the contents of the _i_n_p_u_t_r_c file, and incorporate any
717: bindings or variable assignments found there.
718: aabboorrtt ((CC--gg))
719: Abort the current editing command and ring the terminal's bell
720: (subject to the setting of bbeellll--ssttyyllee).
721: ddoo--uuppppeerrccaassee--vveerrssiioonn ((MM--aa,, MM--bb,, MM--_x,, ......))
722: If the metafied character _x is lowercase, run the command that
723: is bound to the corresponding uppercase character.
724: pprreeffiixx--mmeettaa ((EESSCC))
725: Metafy the next character typed. EESSCC ff is equivalent to MMeettaa--ff.
726: uunnddoo ((CC--__,, CC--xx CC--uu))
727: Incremental undo, separately remembered for each line.
728: rreevveerrtt--lliinnee ((MM--rr))
729: Undo all changes made to this line. This is like executing the
730: uunnddoo command enough times to return the line to its initial
731: state.
732: ttiillddee--eexxppaanndd ((MM--&&))
733: Perform tilde expansion on the current word.
734: sseett--mmaarrkk ((CC--@@,, MM--<<ssppaaccee>>))
735: Set the mark to the point. If a numeric argument is supplied,
736: the mark is set to that position.
737: eexxcchhaannggee--ppooiinntt--aanndd--mmaarrkk ((CC--xx CC--xx))
738: Swap the point with the mark. The current cursor position is
739: set to the saved position, and the old cursor position is saved
740: as the mark.
741: cchhaarraacctteerr--sseeaarrcchh ((CC--]]))
742: A character is read and point is moved to the next occurrence of
743: that character. A negative count searches for previous occur-
744: rences.
745: cchhaarraacctteerr--sseeaarrcchh--bbaacckkwwaarrdd ((MM--CC--]]))
746: A character is read and point is moved to the previous occur-
747: rence of that character. A negative count searches for subse-
748: quent occurrences.
749: sskkiipp--ccssii--sseeqquueennccee
750: Read enough characters to consume a multi-key sequence such as
751: those defined for keys like Home and End. Such sequences begin
752: with a Control Sequence Indicator (CSI), usually ESC-[. If this
753: sequence is bound to "\[", keys producing such sequences will
754: have no effect unless explicitly bound to a readline command,
755: instead of inserting stray characters into the editing buffer.
756: This is unbound by default, but usually bound to ESC-[.
757: iinnsseerrtt--ccoommmmeenntt ((MM--##))
758: Without a numeric argument, the value of the readline ccoomm--
759: mmeenntt--bbeeggiinn variable is inserted at the beginning of the current
760: line. If a numeric argument is supplied, this command acts as a
761: toggle: if the characters at the beginning of the line do not
762: match the value of ccoommmmeenntt--bbeeggiinn, the value is inserted, other-
763: wise the characters in ccoommmmeenntt--bbeeggiinn are deleted from the begin-
764: ning of the line. In either case, the line is accepted as if a
765: newline had been typed. The default value of ccoommmmeenntt--bbeeggiinn
766: makes the current line a shell comment. If a numeric argument
767: causes the comment character to be removed, the line will be
768: executed by the shell.
769: dduummpp--ffuunnccttiioonnss
770: Print all of the functions and their key bindings to the read-
771: line output stream. If a numeric argument is supplied, the out-
772: put is formatted in such a way that it can be made part of an
773: _i_n_p_u_t_r_c file.
774: dduummpp--vvaarriiaabblleess
775: Print all of the settable variables and their values to the
776: readline output stream. If a numeric argument is supplied, the

792: The following is a list of the default emacs and vi bindings. Charac-
793: ters with the eighth bit set are written as M-<character>, and are
794: referred to as _m_e_t_a_f_i_e_d characters. The printable ASCII characters not
795: mentioned in the list of emacs standard bindings are bound to the
796: sseellff--iinnsseerrtt function, which just inserts the given character into the
797: input line. In vi insertion mode, all characters not specifically men-
798: tioned are bound to sseellff--iinnsseerrtt. Characters assigned to signal genera-
799: tion by _s_t_t_y(1) or the terminal driver, such as C-Z or C-C, retain that
800: function. Upper and lower case metafied characters are bound to the
801: same function in the emacs mode meta keymap. The remaining characters
802: are unbound, which causes readline to ring the bell (subject to the
803: setting of the bbeellll--ssttyyllee variable).
