Compared to current version in base: - great improvements on the Unicode support - full support for filename completion including quoting which means we do not need anymore our custom addition) - Improved readline compatiblity Upgrading libedit has been a pain in the past, because somehow we never managed to properly cleanup the tree in lib/libedit and each merge has always been very painful. After years of fighting give up and refresh a merge from scrarch properly in contrib. Note that the switch to this version will be done in another commit.

.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.Nm
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
file defines various settings to be used by the
|
|
.Xr editline 3
|
|
library.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The format of each line is:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Dl [prog:]command [arg ...]
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Ar command
|
|
is one of the
|
|
.Xr editline 3
|
|
builtin commands.
|
|
Refer to
|
|
.Sx BUILTIN COMMANDS
|
|
for more information.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Ar prog
|
|
is the program name string that a program defines when it calls
|
|
.Xr el_init 3
|
|
to set up
|
|
.Xr editline 3 ,
|
|
which is usually
|
|
.Va argv[0] .
|
|
.Ar command
|
|
will be executed for any program which matches
|
|
.Ar prog .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Ar prog
|
|
may also be a
|
|
.Xr regex 3
|
|
style
|
|
regular expression, in which case
|
|
.Ar command
|
|
will be executed for any program that matches the regular expression.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If
|
|
.Ar prog
|
|
is absent,
|
|
.Ar command
|
|
is executed for all programs.
|
|
.Sh BUILTIN COMMANDS
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm editline
|
|
library has some builtin commands, which affect the way
|
|
that the line editing and history functions operate.
|
|
These are based on similar named builtins present in the
|
|
.Xr tcsh 1
|
|
shell.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The following builtin commands are available:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width 4n
|
|
.It Ic bind Oo Fl aeklrsv Oc Op Ar key Op Ar command
|
|
Without options and arguments, list all bound keys and macros, and
|
|
the editor command or input string to which each one is bound.
|
|
If only
|
|
.Ar key
|
|
is supplied, show the binding for that key or macro.
|
|
If
|
|
.Ar key command
|
|
is supplied, bind the editor
|
|
.Ar command
|
|
to that key or macro.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The options are as follows:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width 4n
|
|
.It Fl a
|
|
List or change key bindings in the
|
|
.Xr vi 1
|
|
mode alternate (command mode) key map.
|
|
.It Fl e
|
|
Bind all keys to the standard GNU Emacs-like bindings.
|
|
.It Fl k
|
|
.Ar key
|
|
is interpreted as a symbolic arrow key name, which may be one of
|
|
.Sq up ,
|
|
.Sq down ,
|
|
.Sq left
|
|
or
|
|
.Sq right .
|
|
.It Fl l
|
|
List all editor commands and a short description of each.
|
|
.It Fl r
|
|
Remove the binding of the key or macro
|
|
.Ar key .
|
|
.It Fl s
|
|
Define a keyboard macro rather than a key binding or command macro:
|
|
.Ar command
|
|
is taken as a literal string and appended to the input queue whenever
|
|
.Ar key
|
|
is typed.
|
|
Bound keys and macros in
|
|
.Ar command
|
|
are themselves reinterpreted, and this continues for ten levels of
|
|
interpretation.
|
|
.It Fl v
|
|
Bind all keys to the standard
|
|
.Xr vi 1 Ns -like
|
|
bindings.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Xr editline 7
|
|
manual documents all editor commands and contains more information
|
|
about macros and the input queue.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Ar key
|
|
and
|
|
.Ar command
|
|
can contain control characters of the form
|
|
.Sm off
|
|
.Sq No ^ Ar character
|
|
.Sm on
|
|
.Po
|
|
e.g.\&
|
|
.Sq ^A
|
|
.Pc ,
|
|
and the following backslashed escape sequences:

the value of that capability is printed, with
