DESCRIPTION
This mode provides some emacs key-bindings, taking the bash(1) implementation as a reference.
This module also provides a 'emac_multiline' key map.
KEY MAPPING
These bindings are additional to those in Term::ReadLine::Zoid which already contains some emacs key bindings.
escape, ^[ (prefix_meta)
meta-f (forward_word)
meta-b (backward_word)
^X^V (switch_mode_command)
Enter (vi) command mode. Taken from zsh(1).
^V, ^Q (quoted_insert)
Insert next key literally, ignoring any key-bindings.
WARNING: control or escape chars in the editline can cause unexpected results
TODO
Get count args right (see bash reference)
A lot more bindings
