But here's a bug for you, in readline:
- edit a line
- go to some character
- replace that character with another, using the "r" command.
- cruise further down the line to another character
- hit the "." repeat command
The replace operation will not be executed, but rather the "x"
operation.
This has actually improved over the years. A while back, repeating an
earlier operation like that would get characters tangled up. Now, it
seems at least to be deterministic.
I can't reproduce this on bash-5.0 or bash-5.1.
Thank you for your response.
Perhaps I have some weird configuration error:
$ echo $BASH_VERSION
5.0.18(1)-release
$ ecxo $BSH_VERSION
In this example, I changed the "h" of echo to "x", then moved right to
the "A" of BASH and hit "."
I can't reproduce that:
$ ./bash
$ set -o vi
$ echo $BASH_VERSION
5.0.18(9)-release
$ exho $BxSH_VERSION
bash: exho: command not found
I used a similar set of editing commands. I see the same results with bash-5.1.
