Thanks for the report. The tab-insert command is documented, but the other two are not. They're not particularly well-used, but they should be in there.
dear developers if we will see this century interactive region highlighting for example then setting mark and using left\right moving commands?
Most of the code to do that already exists, if you'd like to take a shot at it. There is a discussion happening right now about which emacs-mode commands should set the mark, and where it should be set, which I think is more important. https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-readline/2026-07/msg00002.html
and it will be great to have some variant of erasedups HISTCONTROL variable option which allow to make erasing at shell exit but not right here and right now as it unpredictable shuffle history item numbers.
You can do that now (after shell exit) using one of the readline examples:
hist_erasedups.c. It works on a history file.
