Hi bug-bash, I have a user we're trying to encourage to migrate from tcsh to bash, who is used to his shell starting up in overwrite mode (as opposed to the default Insert mode.)
Long story short, while I can easily bind a key to the "overwrite-mode" readline function, I can't figure out how to make bind start up that way as I can't find an "overwrite" readline variable which I can manipulate. And the user doesn't want to hit "Ins" every time he starts a shell. Anyone know how to do this? -- Jim Lawson Systems Architecture & Administration Enterprise Technology Services University of Vermont Burlington, VT USA
