|
|
Although the Readline library comes with a set of Emacs-like
|
|
keybindings installed by default, it is possible to use a different set
|
|
of keybindings.
|
|
Any user can customize programs that use Readline by putting
|
|
commands in an <dfn>inputrc</dfn> file, conventionally in his home directory.
|
|
The name of this
|
|
file is taken from the value of the environment variable <samp><span class="env">INPUTRC</span></samp>. If
|
|
that variable is unset, the default is <samp><span class="file">~/.inputrc</span></samp>. If that
|
|
file does not exist or cannot be read, the ultimate default is
|
|
<samp><span class="file">/etc/inputrc</span></samp>.
|
|
|
|
<p>When a program which uses the Readline library starts up, the
|
|
init file is read, and the key bindings are set.
|
|
|
|
<p>In addition, the <code>C-x C-r</code> command re-reads this init file, thus
|
|
incorporating any changes that you might have made to it.
