editrc - configuration file for editline library
editrc
The editrc file defines various settings to be used by the
editline(3)
library.
The format of each line is:
[prog:]command [arg [...]]
command is one of the editline(3) builtin commands. Refer
to BUILTIN
COMMANDS for more information.
prog is the program name string that a program defines when
it calls
el_init(3) to set up editline(3), which is usually argv[0].
command will
be executed for any program which matches prog.
prog may also be a regex(3) style regular expression, in
which case
command will be executed for any program that matches the
regular expression.
If prog is absent, command is executed for all programs.
The editline library has some builtin commands, which affect
the way that
the line editing and history functions operate. These are
based on similar
named builtins present in the tcsh shell.
The following builtin commands are available:
bind [-aeklrsv] [key [command]]
Without options, list all bound keys, and the editor
command to
which each is bound. If key is supplied, show the
bindings for
key. If key command is supplied, bind command to key.
Options include:
-a List or change key bindings in the vi(1) mode
alternate (command
mode) key map.
-e Bind all keys to the standard GNU Emacs-like
bindings.
-k key is interpreted as a symbolic arrow key name,
which may be
one of `up', `down', `left' or `right'.
-l List all editor commands and a short description
of each.
-r Remove a key's binding.
-s command is taken as a literal string and treated
as terminal
input when key is typed. Bound keys in command
are themselves
reinterpreted, and this continues for ten
levels of
interpretation.
-v Bind all keys to the standard vi(1)-like bindings.
command may be one of the commands documented in
EDITOR COMMANDS
below, or another key.
key and command can contain control characters of the
form
`^character' (e.g. `^A'), and the following backslashed escape sBquencas:
c
ak Bell
s
\e Escape
f Formfeed
rn Carriage return
e
t Horizontal tab
Vertical tab
nnn The ASCII character corresponding to the octal number
nnn.
`' nullifies the special meaning of the following
character, if it
has any, notably `' and `^'.
echotc [-sv] arg ...
Exercise terminal capabilities given in arg .... If
arg is `baud',
`cols', `lines', `rows', `meta' or `tabs', the value
of that capability
is printed, with ``yes'' or ``no'' indicating
that the terminal
does or does not have that capability.
-s returns an empty string for non-existent capabilities, rather
than causing an error. -v causes messages to be verbose.
edit [on | off]
Enable or disable the editline functionality in a program.
history
List the history.
settc cap val
Set the terminal capability cap to val, as defined in
termcap(5).
No sanity checking is done.
setty [-adqx] [+mode] [-mode] [mode] [char=c]
Control which tty modes that editrc won't allow the
user to change.
-d, -q or -x tells setty to act on the `edit', `quote'
or `execute'
set of tty modes respectively; defaulting to -x.
Without other arguments, setty lists the modes in the
chosen set
which are fixed on (`+mode') or off (`-mode'). -a
lists all tty
modes in the chosen set regardless of the setting.
With +mode,
-mode or mode, fixes mode on or off or removes control
of mode in
the chosen set.
telltc
List the values of all the terminal capabilities (see
termcap(5)).
