Hello
I'm looking for a way to set a Readline variable, but without editing
the init (~/.inputrc or /etc/inputrc) file.
E.g., I'd like to have
set show-all-if-ambiguous on
The thing is that I have to login to some remote server with a login
that I share with other users and I don't want to impose my settings by
saving my options in a file.
I tried
bind set show-all-if-ambiguous on
but this leads to a corrupted readline behaviour: I can't type anymore 's'.
Reading the manual
(http://www.gnu.org/software/bash/manual/bashref.html#Bash-Builtins) it
says explicitly (for the Builtin command 'bind'):
"Display current Readline (see Command Line Editing) key and
function bindings, bind a key sequence to a Readline function or
macro, or set a Readline variable."
I haven't find any example so far, so I'm thankful for any help or pointer.
regards
andi
