Who'd have guessed that even *I* could learn a thing or two from the FAQ? ;-) Now I just hope I don't start hitting the otherwise-good-for-nothing-but-causing-grief insert key in TextPad etc. > ...since it is not documented via "man readline," "man bash" nor in my > rather dated hard-copy BASH manual. > I'd guess that "paste-from-clipboard" probably doesn't do much on non-Windows readlines.

AFAICT, man readline pretty much covers it, with the above exception, which all I can tell you about that is I got it from the FAQ. > 2) Why does "paste-from-clipboard" stop just before the first newline in > the clipboard contents while middle-mouse pastes the entire contents?
