Package: libreadline5
Version: 5.1-7
Severity: important
In my .inputrc I have the following lines:
"\M-n": history-search-forward
"\M-p": history-search-backward
"\C-u": kill-whole-line
With readline 5.0 they work fine, but with 5.1 they don't work.
Oddly, if I bind to macros, e.g.
"\C-u": "foo"
it works fine. Also, I can make the first two work by using
"\en": history-search-forward
"\ep": history-search-backward
I can get some Ctrl-letter keys to work by doing things like:
"\x1": kill-whole-line # binds C-a to kill-whole-line
but \x15 does not work as expected (trying various codes indicates
that most C-letters can be bound in this way, but a few can't).
