Hello, Bash developers, (I know little about Bash, so I apologize beforehand if I say something inaccurate or nonsensical)
Bug #16740 was filed today against the Emacs package, asking to remove an inconsistency between the keys employed by Emacs and Bash to browse the history of commands. See: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnu-emacs/2014-02/msg01082.html Emacs uses M-p/M-n to browse the minibuffer history (and C-p/C-n to move to the previous/next line in a multi-line buffer), whereas Bash uses C-n/C-p for browsing the command history (and doesn't use M-p/M-n for anything, AFAIK). It would be nice to remove this inconsistency (this is the obvious part), and IMO TRT would be to make Bash behave like Emacs, that is: 1. Use M-p/M-n to browse the command history (instead of the current C-p/C-n). 2. Use C-p/C-n to move to the previous/next line, in the current command being edited. WDYT? -- Dani Moncayo
