Sometimes you may miss typing a character that you wanted to type,
and not notice your error until you have typed several other
-characters. In that case, you can type C-b to move the cursor to the

left, and then correct your mistake. Afterwards, you can move the

When you add text in the middle of a line, you will notice that
characters to the right of the cursor are `pushed over' to make room
list of the basic bare essentials for editing the text of an input line
follows.
-C-b
+<C-b>
Move back one character.
-C-f
+<C-f>
Move forward one character.
-DEL
+<DEL>
Delete the character to the left of the cursor.
-C-d

Delete the character underneath the cursor.
Printing characters
Insert the character into the line at the cursor.
-C-_
+<C-_>
Undo the last thing that you did. You can undo all the way back
to an empty line.
The above table describes the most basic possible keystrokes that
you need in order to do editing of the input line. For your

Here is the list of commands for killing text.
-C-k
+<C-k>
Kill the text from the current cursor position to the end of the
line.
-M-d
+<M-d>
Kill from the cursor to the end of the current word, or if between
words, to the end of the next word.
-M-DEL
+<M-DEL>
Kill from the cursor the start of the previous word, or if between
words, to the start of the previous word.
-C-w
+<C-w>
Kill from the cursor to the previous whitespace. This is
- different than M-DEL because the word boundaries differ.
+ different than <M-DEL> because the word boundaries differ.
And, here is how to "yank" the text back into the line. Yanking
means to copy the most-recently-killed text from the kill buffer.
-C-y
+<C-y>
Yank the most recently killed text back into the buffer at the
cursor.
-M-y
+<M-y>
Rotate the kill-ring, and yank the new top. You can only do this
- if the prior command is C-y or M-y.
+ if the prior command is <C-y> or <M-y>.

The general way to pass numeric arguments to a command is to type
meta digits before the command. If the first `digit' you type is a
-minus sign (-), then the sign of the argument will be negative. Once
+minus sign (<->), then the sign of the argument will be negative. Once
you have typed one meta digit to get the argument started, you can type
the remainder of the digits, and then the command. For example, to give
-the C-d command an argument of 10, you could type `M-1 0 C-d'.
+the <C-d> command an argument of 10, you could type `M-1 0 C-d'.

`convert-meta'
If set to `on', Readline will convert characters with the
eigth bit set to an ASCII key sequence by stripping the eigth
- bit and prepending an ESC character, converting them to a
+ bit and prepending an <ESC> character, converting them to a
meta-prefixed key sequence. The default value is `on'.
`disable-completion'
The following escape sequences are available when specifying
key sequences:
- ``\C-''
+ `\C-'
control prefix
- ``\M-''
+ `\M-'
meta prefix
- ``\e''
+ `\e'
an escape character
- ``\\''
+ `\\'
backslash
- ``\"''
- "
+ `\"'
+ <">
- ``\'''
- '
+ `\''
+ <'>
When entering the text of a macro, single or double quotes
should be used to indicate a macro definition. Unquoted text
`quoted-insert (C-q, C-v)'
Add the next character that you type to the line verbatim. This is
- how to insert key sequences like C-q, for example.
+ how to insert key sequences like <C-q>, for example.

Insert a tab character.

- argument. M- starts a negative argument.

When you enter a line in `vi' mode, you are already placed in
-`insertion' mode, as if you had typed an `i'. Pressing ESC switches
+`insertion' mode, as if you had typed an `i'. Pressing <ESC> switches
you into `command' mode, where you can edit the text of the line with

`k' and subsequent lines with `j', and so forth.
