Hi all

Currently, the julia command line ignores .inputrc. There are a couple of 
issues on github that seem related to this (
https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/issues/2197 and 
https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/issues/5883), but both are closed. It’s 
not clear whether this is the intended behaviour (if so, why?) or if it 
will be fixed by some other issue. If possible, could someone clarify the 
status of this?

I have the following in my ~/.inputrc. In other command-line applications, 
this allows me to enter the first few letters of a previous command and 
then press up-arrow to recall it. This is both very useful and deeply 
engrained into my muscle memory, so it would be very helpful if julia could 
behave in the same way.


"\e[A": history-search-backward
"\e[B": history-search-forward
set completion-ignore-case on

If it makes a difference, I am running julia in a Terminal window on OS X.

Best regards,
Nathaniel
