Package: bash
Version: 4.3-11+b1
Severity: normal
In a vi-like keyboard paradigm backslash (\) is often used as a leader
key for various personal mappings.
Suppose, we have a minimal ~/.inputrc:
set editing-mode vi
set keymap vi-command
"\\tw": transpose-words
and ~/.bashrc is empty.
It does work as expected (‘\tw’ in vi-normal mode transpose last two
words) with interactive programs that utilize readline(3) other than
bash(1): lftp(1), python(1) and octave(1).
But in bash(1) it does not, instead, it behaves like ‘a’: moves cursor
one position right and enters insert mode.
That’s why I think that this bug-report belongs to ‘bash’ package, not
‘libreadline6’.
It also works correctly if I duplicate mappings specially for bash(1)
via ‘bind’ built-in:
$ bind -m vi '"\\tw": transpose-words'
So the problem can be workarounded easily, but anyway it exists.
