The help documentation for /etc/inputrc is found in`man 3 readline' under section INITIALIZATION FILE and is quite extensive. However I don't see any info regarding how to interpret the characters used in /etc/inputrc.
Things like: # for linux console and RH/Debian xterm "\e[1~": beginning-of-line "\e[4~": end-of-line #"\e[5~": beginning-of-history #"\e[6~": end-of-history "\e[5~": history-search-backward "\e[6~": history-search-forward "\e[3~": delete-char "\e[2~": quoted-insert I happen to know what some of those are from use but how can I tell what characters are being referred to, that is, what does: "\e[2~" mean in plain english? I've seen a table somewhere that tells how to read that notation but can't remember where. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
