I've just found out how to make the function keys more useful!
To get the key number, use "showkeys". Then run "loadkeys <<end"
and type in, say:
keycode 59 = F100
string F100 = "apt-get install"
end
And that's it. The manpage keymaps(5) is helpfull and so is
"dumpkeys" and its manpage.
Similarly, one can make use of the "windows" keys for faster use
of vi-like editors:
loadkeys <<end
keycode 126 = colon
end
andrej
NB: This has nothing to do with readline 8-)
