RE: /etc/inputrc textual suggestion

2005-06-23 Thread David Fix 
 The inputrc page located at:
 
 http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/view/testing/chapter07/inp
 utrc.html
 
 is currently loaded with much more text than is needed, IMO, and is
 rather convoluted, too. Likewise, it refers to an /etc/skel directory
 which LFS does not create (nor does it create any regular users). I am
 suggesting the following text to replace it:
 
snip
 ###
 
 FIXME: startup or start-up?
 
 FIXME: The following comment needs rewritten
 
 # Make sure we don't output everything on the 1 line
 set horizontal-scroll-mode Off
 
 Suggested:
 
 # Allow the command prompt to wrap to the next line
 set horizontal-scroll-mode Off

1. I agree with that text change...  Much easier for those less in the
know, and most people won't use the /etc/skel stuff anyhoo...

2. start-up

3. Your suggested comment is good.  :)

How about:

# Allow long commands to wrap to the next line

or:

# Allow commands longer than the terminal width to wrap to the next line

?
