INPUTRC

  beginning-of-line (C-a)
      Move to the start of the current line.
  end-of-line (C-e)
      Move to the end of the line.
  forward-char (C-f)
      Move forward a character.
  backward-char (C-b)
      Move back a character.
  forward-word (M-f)
      Move forward to the end of the next word. Words are composed of
      alphanumeric characters (letters and digits).
  backward-word (M-b)
      Move back to the start of the current or previous word. Words are
      composed of alphanumeric characters (letters and digits).
  shell-forward-word
      Move forward to the end of the next word. Words are delimited by
      non-quoted shell metacharacters.
  shell-backward-word
      Move back to the start of the current or previous word. Words are
      delimited by non-quoted shell metacharacters.
  clear-screen (C-l)
      Clear the screen leaving the current line at the top of the screen. With
      an argument, refresh the cur‐ rent line without clearing the screen.
  redraw-current-line
      Refresh the current line.

  accept-line (Newline, Return)
      Accept the line regardless of where the cursor is. If this line is
      non-empty, add it to the history list according to the state of the
      HISTCONTROL variable. If the line is a modified history line, then
      restore the history line to its original state.
  previous-history (C-p)
      Fetch the previous command from the history list, moving back in the
      list.
  next-history (C-n)
      Fetch the next command from the history list, moving forward in the
      list.
  beginning-of-history (M-<)
      Move to the first line in the history.
  end-of-history (M->)
      Move to the end of the input history, i.e., the line currently being
      entered.
  reverse-search-history (C-r)
      Search backward starting at the current line and moving `up' through the
      history as necessary. This is an incremental search.
  forward-search-history (C-s)
      Search forward starting at the current line and moving `down' through
      the history as necessary. This is an incremental search.
  non-incremental-reverse-search-history (M-p)
      Search backward through the history starting at the current line using
      a non-incremental search for a string supplied by the user.
  non-incremental-forward-search-history (M-n)
      Search forward through the history using a non-incremental search for a
      string supplied by the user.
  history-search-forward
      Search forward through the history for the string of characters between
      the start of the current line and the point. This is a non-incremental
      search.
  history-search-backward
      Search backward through the history for the string of characters between
      the start of the current line and the point. This is a non-incremental
      search.
  yank-nth-arg (M-C-y)
      Insert the first argument to the previous command (usually the second
      word on the previous line) at point. With an argument n, insert the nth
      word from the previous command (the words in the previous command begin
      with word 0). A negative argument inserts the nth word from the end of
      the previous command. Once the argument n is computed, the argument is
      extracted as if the "!n" history expansion had been specified.
  yank-last-arg (M-., M-_)
      Insert the last argument to the previous command (the last word of the
      previous history entry). With a numeric argument, behave exactly like
      yank-nth-arg. Successive calls to yank-last-arg move back through the
      history list, inserting the last word (or the word specified by the
      argument to the first call) of each line in turn. Any numeric argument
      supplied to these successive calls determines the direction to move
      through the history. A negative argument switches the direction through
      the history (back or forward). The history expansion facilities are used
      to extract the last word, as if the "!$" history expansion had been
      specified.
  shell-expand-line (M-C-e)
      Expand the line as the shell does. This performs alias and history
      expansion as well as all of the shell word expansions. See HISTORY
      EXPANSION below for a description of history expansion.
  history-expand-line (M-^)
      Perform history expansion on the current line. See HISTORY EXPANSION
      below for a description of history expansion.
  magic-space
      Perform history expansion on the current line and insert a space. See
      HISTORY EXPANSION below for a description of history expansion.
  alias-expand-line
      Perform alias expansion on the current line. See ALIASES above for a
      description of alias expansion.
  history-and-alias-expand-line
      Perform history and alias expansion on the current line.
  insert-last-argument (M-., M-_)
      A synonym for yank-last-arg.
  operate-and-get-next (C-o)
      Accept the current line for execution and fetch the next line relative
      to the current line from the history for editing. Any argument is
      ignored.
  edit-and-execute-command (C-xC-e)
      Invoke an editor on the current command line, and execute the result as
      shell commands. Bash attempts to invoke $VISUAL, $EDITOR, and emacs as
      the editor, in that order.

  end-of-file (usually C-d)
      The character indicating end-of-file as set, for example, by ``stty''.
      If this character is read when there are no characters on the line, and
      point is at the beginning of the line, Readline interprets it as the end
      of input and returns EOF.
  delete-char (C-d)
      Delete the character at point. If this function is bound to the same
      character as the tty EOF charac‐ ter, as C-d commonly is, see above for
      the effects.
  backward-delete-char (Rubout)
      Delete the character behind the cursor. When given a numeric argument,
      save the deleted text on the kill ring.
  forward-backward-delete-char
      Delete the character under the cursor, unless the cursor is at the end
      of the line, in which case the character behind the cursor is deleted.
  quoted-insert (C-q, C-v)
      Add the next character typed to the line verbatim. This is how to insert
      characters like C-q, for example.
  tab-insert (C-v TAB)
      Insert a tab character.
  self-insert (a, b, A, 1, !, ...)
      Insert the character typed.
  transpose-chars (C-t)
      Drag the character before point forward over the character at point,
      moving point forward as well. If point is at the end of the line, then
      this transposes the two characters before point. Negative argu‐ ments
      have no effect.
  transpose-words (M-t)
      Drag the word before point past the word after point, moving point over
      that word as well. If point is at the end of the line, this transposes
      the last two words on the line.
  upcase-word (M-u)
      Uppercase the current (or following) word. With a negative argument,
      uppercase the previous word, but do not move point.
  downcase-word (M-l)
      Lowercase the current (or following) word. With a negative argument,
      lowercase the previous word, but do not move point.
  capitalize-word (M-c)
      Capitalize the current (or following) word. With a negative argument,
      capitalize the previous word, but do not move point.
  overwrite-mode
      Toggle overwrite mode. With an explicit positive numeric argument,
      switches to overwrite mode. With an explicit non-positive numeric
      argument, switches to insert mode. This command affects only emacs mode;
      vi mode does overwrite differently. Each call to readline() starts in
      insert mode. In overwrite mode, characters bound to self-insert replace
      the text at point rather than pushing the text to the right. Characters
      bound to backward-delete-char replace the character before point with a
      space. By default, this command is unbound.

  kill-line (C-k)
      Kill the text from point to the end of the line.
  backward-kill-line (C-x Rubout)
      Kill backward to the beginning of the line.
  unix-line-discard (C-u)
      Kill backward from point to the beginning of the line. The killed text
      is saved on the kill-ring.
  kill-whole-line
      Kill all characters on the current line, no matter where point is.
  kill-word (M-d)
      Kill from point to the end of the current word, or if between words, to
      the end of the next word. Word boundaries are the same as those used by
      forward-word.
  backward-kill-word (M-Rubout)
      Kill the word behind point. Word boundaries are the same as those used
      by backward-word.
  shell-kill-word
      Kill from point to the end of the current word, or if between words, to
      the end of the next word. Word boundaries are the same as those used by
      shell-forward-word.
  shell-backward-kill-word
      Kill the word behind point. Word boundaries are the same as those used
      by shell-backward-word.
  unix-word-rubout (C-w)
      Kill the word behind point, using white space as a word boundary. The
      killed text is saved on the kill-ring.
  unix-filename-rubout
      Kill the word behind point, using white space and the slash character
      as the word boundaries. The killed text is saved on the kill-ring.
  delete-horizontal-space (M-\)
      Delete all spaces and tabs around point.
  kill-region
      Kill the text in the current region.
  copy-region-as-kill
      Copy the text in the region to the kill buffer.
  copy-backward-word
      Copy the word before point to the kill buffer. The word boundaries are
      the same as backward-word.
  copy-forward-word
      Copy the word following point to the kill buffer. The word boundaries
      are the same as forward-word.
  yank (C-y)
      Yank the top of the kill ring into the buffer at point.
  yank-pop (M-y)
      Rotate the kill ring, and yank the new top. Only works following yank or
      yank-pop.

  digit-argument (M-0, M-1, ..., M--)
      Add this digit to the argument already accumulating, or start a new
      argument. M-- starts a negative argument.
  universal-argument
      This is another way to specify an argument. If this command is followed
      by one or more digits, option‐ ally with a leading minus sign, those
      digits define the argument. If the command is followed by dig‐ its,
      executing universal-argument again ends the numeric argument, but is
      otherwise ignored. As a spe‐ cial case, if this command is immediately
      followed by a character that is neither a digit nor minus sign, the
      argument count for the next command is multiplied by four. The argument
      count is initially one, so executing this function the first time makes
      the argument count four, a second time makes the argument count sixteen,
      and so on.

  complete (TAB)
      Attempt to perform completion on the text before point. Bash attempts
      completion treating the text as a variable (if the text begins with $),
      username (if the text begins with ~), hostname (if the text begins with
      @), or command (including aliases and functions) in turn. If none of
      these produces a match, filename completion is attempted.
  possible-completions (M-?)
      List the possible completions of the text before point.
  insert-completions (M-*)
      Insert all completions of the text before point that would have been
      generated by possible-completions.
  menu-complete
      Similar to complete, but replaces the word to be completed with a single
      match from the list of possi‐ ble completions. Repeated execution of
      menu-complete steps through the list of possible completions, inserting
      each match in turn. At the end of the list of completions, the bell is
      rung (subject to the setting of bell-style) and the original text is
      restored. An argument of n moves n positions forward in the list of
      matches; a negative argument may be used to move backward through the
      list. This command is intended to be bound to TAB, but is unbound by
      default.
  menu-complete-backward
      Identical to menu-complete, but moves backward through the list
      of possible completions, as if menu-complete had been given a negative
      argument. This command is unbound by default.
  delete-char-or-list
      Deletes the character under the cursor if not at the beginning or end of
      the line (like delete-char). If at the end of the line, behaves
      identically to possible-completions. This command is unbound by
      default.
  complete-filename (M-/)
      Attempt filename completion on the text before point.
  possible-filename-completions (C-x /)
      List the possible completions of the text before point, treating it as a
      filename.
  complete-username (M-~)
      Attempt completion on the text before point, treating it as a username.
  possible-username-completions (C-x ~)
      List the possible completions of the text before point, treating it as a
      username.
  complete-variable (M-$)
      Attempt completion on the text before point, treating it as a shell
      variable.
  possible-variable-completions (C-x $)
      List the possible completions of the text before point, treating it as a
      shell variable.
  complete-hostname (M-@)
      Attempt completion on the text before point, treating it as a hostname.
  possible-hostname-completions (C-x @)
      List the possible completions of the text before point, treating it as a
      hostname.
  complete-command (M-!)
      Attempt completion on the text before point, treating it as a command
      name. Command completion attempts to match the text against aliases,
      reserved words, shell functions, shell builtins, and finally
      executable filenames, in that order.
  possible-command-completions (C-x !)
      List the possible completions of the text before point, treating it as a
      command name.
  dynamic-complete-history (M-TAB)
      Attempt completion on the text before point, comparing the text against
      lines from the history list for possible completion matches.
  dabbrev-expand
      Attempt menu completion on the text before point, comparing the text
      against lines from the history list for possible completion matches.
  complete-into-braces (M-{)
      Perform filename completion and insert the list of possible completions
      enclosed within braces so the list is available to the shell (see Brace
      Expansion above).

  start-kbd-macro (C-x ()
      Begin saving the characters typed into the current keyboard macro.
  end-kbd-macro (C-x ))
      Stop saving the characters typed into the current keyboard macro and
      store the definition.
  call-last-kbd-macro (C-x e)
      Re-execute the last keyboard macro defined, by making the characters in
      the macro appear as if typed at the keyboard.
  print-last-kbd-macro ()
      Print the last keyboard macro defined in a format suitable for the
      inputrc file.

  re-read-init-file (C-x C-r)
      Read in the contents of the inputrc file, and incorporate any bindings
      or variable assignments found there.
  abort (C-g)
      Abort the current editing command and ring the terminal's bell (subject
      to the setting of bell-style).
  do-uppercase-version (M-a, M-b, M-x, ...)
      If the metafied character x is lowercase, run the command that is bound
      to the corresponding uppercase character.
  prefix-meta (ESC)
      Metafy the next character typed. ESC f is equivalent to Meta-f.
  undo (C-_, C-x C-u)
      Incremental undo, separately remembered for each line.
  revert-line (M-r)
      Undo all changes made to this line. This is like executing the undo
      command enough times to return the line to its initial state.
  tilde-expand (M-&)
      Perform tilde expansion on the current word.
  set-mark (C-@, M-<space>)
      Set the mark to the point. If a numeric argument is supplied, the mark
      is set to that position.
  exchange-point-and-mark (C-x C-x)
      Swap the point with the mark. The current cursor position is set to
      the saved position, and the old cursor position is saved as the mark.
  character-search (C-])
      A character is read and point is moved to the next occurrence of that
      character. A negative count searches for previous occurrences.
  character-search-backward (M-C-])
      A character is read and point is moved to the previous occurrence of
      that character. A negative count searches for subsequent occurrences.
  skip-csi-sequence
      Read enough characters to consume a multi-key sequence such as those
      defined for keys like Home and End. Such sequences begin with a
      Control Sequence Indicator (CSI), usually ESC-[. If this sequence is
      bound to "\[", keys producing such sequences will have no effect unless
      explicitly bound to a readline command, instead of inserting stray
      characters into the editing buffer. This is unbound by default,
      but usually bound to ESC-[.
  insert-comment (M-#)
      Without a numeric argument, the value of the readline comment-begin
      variable is inserted at the begin‐ ning of the current line. If a
      numeric argument is supplied, this command acts as a toggle: if the
      characters at the beginning of the line do not match the value of
      comment-begin, the value is inserted, otherwise the characters in
      comment-begin are deleted from the beginning of the line. In either
      case, the line is accepted as if a newline had been typed. The default
      value of comment-begin causes this command to make the current line
      a shell comment. If a numeric argument causes the comment character to
      be removed, the line will be executed by the shell.
  glob-complete-word (M-g)
      The word before point is treated as a pattern for pathname expansion,
      with an asterisk implicitly appended. This pattern is used to
      generate a list of matching filenames for possible completions.
  glob-expand-word (C-x *)
      The word before point is treated as a pattern for pathname expansion,
      and the list of matching file‐ names is inserted, replacing the word.
      If a numeric argument is supplied, an asterisk is appended
      before pathname expansion.
  glob-list-expansions (C-x g)
      The list of expansions that would have been generated by
      glob-expand-word is displayed, and the line is redrawn. If a numeric
      argument is supplied, an asterisk is appended before pathname expansion.
  dump-functions
      Print all of the functions and their key bindings to the readline output
      stream. If a numeric argument is supplied, the output is formatted in
      such a way that it can be made part of an inputrc file.
  dump-variables
      Print all of the settable readline variables and their values to
      the readline output stream. If a numeric argument is supplied, the
      output is formatted in such a way that it can be made part of an
      inputrc file.
  dump-macros
      Print all of the readline key sequences bound to macros and the
      strings they output. If a numeric argument is supplied, the output is
      formatted in such a way that it can be made part of an inputrc
      file.
  display-shell-version (C-x C-v)
      Display version information about the current instance of bash.
