Comment (by iandrus):
I tried using this a few times before but could never bind it to Control-o
so I gave up. I have an `inputrc` file and several other customizations
that I thought might be interfering, but could never figure it out. Today
I finally took the time and so I'm putting it here in case others have the
same problem. Below is what happens as best I understand it. I'm on OS X
10.6.
Before readline gets a character sequence it's interpreted by the terminal
emulator and can be used to do things like turn flow control on and off.
These are generally bound to Control-s and Control-q and is, I think,
fairly well known (at least I knew it). However, there are other actions
as well which can be determined by running `stty -a` and reading the
`cchars` section. In my case control-o was bound to discard. These extra
bindings can be turned of by running
{{{
# Enable Ctrl-o
stty -iexten
# Enable Ctrl-s and Ctrl-q
stty -ixon
}}}
or by unbinding them individually like
{{{
stty discard undef
...
}}}
