Some Miscellaneous Commands
---------------------------
`re-read-init-file (C-x C-r)'
Read in the contents of the INPUTRC file, and incorporate any
bindings or variable assignments found there.
`abort (C-g)'
Abort the current editing command and ring the terminal's bell
(subject to the setting of `bell-style').
`do-uppercase-version (M-a, M-b, M-X, ...)'
If the metafied character X is lowercase, run the command that is
bound to the corresponding uppercase character.
`prefix-meta (<ESC>)'
Metafy the next character typed. This is for keyboards without a
meta key. Typing `<ESC> f' is equivalent to typing `M-f'.
`undo (C-_ or C-x C-u)'
Incremental undo, separately remembered for each line.
`revert-line (M-r)'
Undo all changes made to this line. This is like executing the
`undo' command enough times to get back to the beginning.
`tilde-expand (M-&)'
Perform tilde expansion on the current word.
`set-mark (C-@)'
Set the mark to the point. If a numeric argument is supplied, the
mark is set to that position.
`exchange-point-and-mark (C-x C-x)'
Swap the point with the mark. The current cursor position is set
to the saved position, and the old cursor position is saved as the
mark.
`character-search (C-])'
A character is read and point is moved to the next occurrence of
that character. A negative count searches for previous
occurrences.
`character-search-backward (M-C-])'
A character is read and point is moved to the previous occurrence
of that character. A negative count searches for subsequent
occurrences.
`insert-comment (M-#)'
The value of the `comment-begin' variable is inserted at the
beginning of the current line, and the line is accepted as if a
newline had been typed. The default value of `comment-begin'
causes this command to make the current line a shell comment.
`dump-functions ()'
Print all of the functions and their key bindings to the Readline
output stream. If a numeric argument is supplied, the output is
formatted in such a way that it can be made part of an INPUTRC
file. This command is unbound by default.
`dump-variables ()'
Print all of the settable variables and their values to the
Readline output stream. If a numeric argument is supplied, the
output is formatted in such a way that it can be made part of an
INPUTRC file. This command is unbound by default.
`dump-macros ()'
Print all of the Readline key sequences bound to macros and the
strings they output. If a numeric argument is supplied, the
output is formatted in such a way that it can be made part of an
INPUTRC file. This command is unbound by default.
`glob-expand-word (C-x *)'
The word before point is treated as a pattern for pathname
expansion, and the list of matching file names is inserted,
replacing the word.
`glob-list-expansions (C-x g)'
The list of expansions that would have been generated by
`glob-expand-word' is displayed, and the line is redrawn.
`display-shell-version (C-x C-v)'
Display version information about the current instance of Bash.
`shell-expand-line (M-C-e)'
Expand the line as the shell does. This performs alias and
history expansion as well as all of the shell word expansions
(Note: Shell Expansions).
`history-expand-line (M-^)'
Perform history expansion on the current line.
`magic-space ()'
Perform history expansion on the current line and insert a space
(Note: History Interaction).

Perform history and alias expansion on the current line.
`insert-last-argument (M-. or M-_)'
A synonym for `yank-last-arg'.
`operate-and-get-next (C-o)'
Accept the current line for execution and fetch the next line
relative to the current line from the history for editing. Any
argument is ignored.
`emacs-editing-mode (C-e)'
When in `vi' editing mode, this causes a switch back to `emacs'
editing mode, as if the command `set -o emacs' had been executed.
