anand jeyahar added the comment: Here's what the original maintainer chet romney had to say about this functionality not being a part of readline, and should be implemented by the calling application. From Chet Ramey: ---------- The answer is that this is very similar to the operate-and-get-next feature bash adds to the readline interface. I am not inclined to add this to readline in its current form because it manipulates state managed by the calling application (rl_startup_hook) and requires that state to be kept between calls to readline(). It's a feature that should be provided by the calling application -- it's implementation is not complicated.
