New Features in Readline +a. The history library does not try to write the history filename in the + current directory if $HOME is unset. This closes a potential security + problem if the application does not specify a history filename. -a. The key sequence sent by the keypad `delete' key is now automatically - bound to delete-char. +b. New bindable variable `completion-display-width' to set the number of + columns used when displaying completions. -b. A negative argument to menu-complete now cycles backward through the - completion list. +c. New bindable variable `completion-case-map' to cause case-insensitive + completion to treat `-' and `_' as identical. -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. There are new bindable vi-mode command names to avoid readline's case- + insensitive matching not allowing them to be bound separately. -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. +e. New bindable variable `menu-complete-display-prefix' causes the menu + completion code to display the common prefix of the possible completions + before cycling through the list, instead of after. |
