OK, you're not going to be able to do that, since you're moving away
from the
$ bind '"\e.":"\e>\e_"'
$ : 1
$ : 2
$ : 3
$ : 4

Try bind '"\e.":"\e>\e_"'
That worked for me when I used it, since I use ESC as the

Thanks but that doesn't work.
$ : 1

Thanks but it's
$ man bash|grep M-_
yank-last-arg (M-., M-_)
insert-last-argument (M-., M-_)
the same as M-., whose behavior I was railing against.

might have done.
