Thanks for the insightful replies.
I think I am getting closer to a solution.
Wouldn't it be possible to bind the "redraw-current-line" to the delete
(ASCII DEL), i.e. Alt 127??
And, just add that to my user's bash file?
I am thinking out loud, not sure this would work.

I think that's what the OP /really/ wants. I can see no point in tying
the ^R refresh to the
the screen, disrupting them. It's a one-time event, and
they'd just like to wipe away the noise so they can see what they're
typing (and specifically so that backspace is handled "correctly").
It won't help in your scenario, at all.

Of course. When typing ahead, your shell's line editor is not in action,
and therefore its bindings will have no effect immediately. They will

What you want to do is redraw the current command. The easiest way to

Hello Debian Users,
Maybe someone can help a brother out.
I would really like to be able to use terminal in such a way that when I

The default of both KDE and GNOME is to use the trashcan. There's also
safe-rm. The literal 'rm -rf /' has also been disabled.

IMHO disabling an old and trusted functionality is simply
introducing a bug, made worse by keeping silent about it (no word
about it in changelog.gz or NEWS.Debian.gz).
It must surely be a tiny minority of users who press
control-alt-backspace "by mistake"; I find it hard to imagine

Hello all,
I've noticed that Ctrl-Alt-Backspace no longer kills X for
me (sid). I see Ubuntu has disabled this key combination.
What about Debian?
Is it me or Xorg? And how could I re-enable this
functionality? Switch to terminal, ps ax, kill is possible,
but clunky

Hi there,
After upgrading to etch (from oldstable), I cannot use the backspace
key in vim anymore. It used to delete character (just like in my
term). But now all I get is an annoying bell. I kept the exact same
.vimrc.
