"the presence of readline-style keyboard shortcuts at an OS mediated level"
What does that mean? Do you have an example comparing it to non-'readline-style' shortcuts?
- tsm 14y agoI'm assuming it refers to the fact that most simple Emacs-flavored shortcuts work in any textfield. C-A for <Home>, C-E for <End>, C-K to kill to the end of the line, etc. Certain tookits do this on Linux (Qt for one, I think), and I agree that it's hugely helpful. So I believe non-readline-style shortcuts would refer to, for example, C-A to select all text.
- kmiyer 14y agoExactly. I should probably have referred to them as emacs-style as readline can be configured to have vi-bindings as well.
