New Features in Readline -a. The key sequence sent by the keypad `delete' key is now automatically - bound to delete-char. +a. Calling applications can now set the keyboard timeout to 0, allowing + poll-like behavior. -b. A negative argument to menu-complete now cycles backward through the - completion list. +b. The value of SYS_INPUTRC (configurable at compilation time) is now used as + the default last-ditch startup file. -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. +c. The history file reading functions now allow windows-like \r\n line + terminators. |
