Most of the items have default values, and I would find it very user-friendly, if readline's edit buffer would be pre- initialized with this default value, instead of an empty string. Then the user just has to hit <return> to enter the default value, very comfortable.
I don't believe that you can do that with readline, but I may be wrong. I know that you can do it with ZShell. If you're interested, try installing the zsh package and doing 'man zshzle' and 'man zshbuiltins' - look up "print -z" in particular. And, either way, it's OT for this list. ~Matt -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
