Description:
I recently discovered Readline's 'yank-pop' and 'vi-yank-pop' commands.
>From what I understand, 'yank-pop' is supposed to cycle through Bash's
internal kill-ring
after yanking the most recent killed text.
The command works as expected in Emacs mode, but trying to use its
counterpart in vi mode seems to just return an error (the bell sound
is played).
This is what I have in my .inputrc:
set editing-mode vi
set bell-style audible
# See if you are in insert or normal mode
set show-mode-in-prompt on
set keymap vi-command
"o":vi-yank-pop
Repeat-By:
1) while in vi-insert mode, write some text;
2) switch to vi-command mode, then press '0D';
3) return to insert mode, then repeat steps 1 and 2 for a
couple of times;
4) switch to vi-command mode, then press 'p';
5) press 'o' (the key I bound to vi-yank-pop).
If 'vi-yank-pop' should work like 'yank-pop', pressing 'o' repeatedly should
cycle through the text you previously killed with 'D', but it seems
like an error is issued.
Best wishes,
Matteo Paolini
