Subject: How to package inputrc
Date: Mon, 13 Jul 2020 00:01:32 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <59c5cfc9-e39e-8038-f745-7f14480d0f82@web.de> (raw)
Hi folks,
an annoying thing for me in a default Guix installation is the lack of
an inputrc definition[0]. So while using the shell I miss going through
my bash history via "page up"/"page down" keys.
To tackle this issue I created a simple inputrc and copied to
`/etc/inputrc`:
```
# alternate mappings for "page up" and "page down" to search the history
"\e[5~": history-search-backward
"\e[6~": history-search-forward
```
In order to achieve this more elegant I could write a simple service to
copy the file to /etc. Another option would be a small package.
I think other distros provide one in the default, basic installation:
ArchLinux[1], Debian[2] and openSUSE has even a longer one.
Are others missing that too? What do you think?
Good night
Jonathan
