Gary, I was happy to learn about this:
># Make insert actually useful >"\e[2~": paste-from-clipboard ...since it is not documented via "man readline," "man bash" nor in my rather dated hard-copy BASH manual. However, I now have two questions: 1) Where does one find complete and definitive information on readline as implemented / used by BASH. 2) Why does "paste-from-clipboard" stop just before the first newline in the clipboard contents while middle-mouse pastes the entire contents? Is there another undocumented clipboard pasting readline primitive that pastes the entire clipboard? (Running strings on /lib/libreadline.a suggests there is not.) Is this a bug, or intended behavior? Thanks. Randall Schulz Mountain View, CA USA At 21:35 2002-01-09, Gary R.
