Introduction¶

The readline-binding module provides readline-like key bindings, such as binding Ctrl-A to move the cursor to the start of the line. To use, put the following in ~/.elvish/rc.elv:

use readline-binding
    

Note that this will override some of the standard bindings. For example, Ctrl-L will be bound to a function that clears the terminal screen rather than start location mode.

See the source code (https://github.com/elves/elvish/blob/master/pkg/mods/bundled/readline-binding.elv.go) for details.
