This is something I'll check out myself. Tim, Francis, ... I know some keyboard shortcuts (like M-t, C-k, C-r) that work in, say bash, but I always thought of them as emacs-ish shortcuts conveniently available there. Then seeing the man-page for 'bash' i came across 'Readline' which seems to actually provide these shortcuts and functions. So my question is: How do you invoke commands like (yank-last-arg) in any shell [ not just emacs' term ] if they don't have a keybinding ? For example, invoke 'kill-word' without using the shortcut key 'M-d'. Is this possible ? [ Posting here so as to not start another term/shell thread ]
