| |
| <p>Although the Readline library comes with a set of Emacs-like |
| keybindings installed by default, it is possible to use a different set |
| of keybindings. |
| Any user can customize programs that use Readline by putting |
| commands in an <em>inputrc</em> file, conventionally in his home directory. |
| The name of this |
| file is taken from the value of the environment variable <code>INPUTRC</code>. If |
| that variable is unset, the default is <samp>~/.inputrc</samp>. If that |
| file does not exist or cannot be read, the ultimate default is |
| <samp>/etc/inputrc</samp>. |
| </p> |
| <p>When a program which uses the Readline library starts up, the |
| init file is read, and the key bindings are set. |
| </p> |
| <p>In addition, the <code>C-x C-r</code> command re-reads this init file, thus |
| incorporating any changes that you might have made to it. |
