<h3 class="section">32.1 Introduction to Line Editing</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>The following paragraphs describe the notation used to represent
|
|
keystrokes.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>The text <kbd>C-k</kbd> is read as ‘Control-K’ and describes the character
|
|
produced when the <tt class="key">k</tt> key is pressed while the Control key
|
|
is depressed.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>The text <kbd>M-k</kbd> is read as ‘Meta-K’ and describes the character
|
|
produced when the Meta key (if you have one) is depressed, and the <tt class="key">k</tt>
|
|
key is pressed.
|
|
The Meta key is labeled <tt class="key">ALT</tt> on many keyboards.
|
|
On keyboards with two keys labeled <tt class="key">ALT</tt> (usually to either side of
|
|
the space bar), the <tt class="key">ALT</tt> on the left side is generally set to
|
|
work as a Meta key.
|
|
The <tt class="key">ALT</tt> key on the right may also be configured to work as a
|
|
Meta key or may be configured as some other modifier, such as a
|
|
Compose key for typing accented characters.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>If you do not have a Meta or <tt class="key">ALT</tt> key, or another key working as
|
|
a Meta key, the identical keystroke can be generated by typing <tt class="key">ESC</tt>
|
|
<em>first</em>, and then typing <tt class="key">k</tt>.
|
|
Either process is known as <em>metafying</em> the <tt class="key">k</tt> key.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>The text <kbd>M-C-k</kbd> is read as ‘Meta-Control-k’ and describes the
|
|
character produced by <em>metafying</em> <kbd>C-k</kbd>.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>In addition, several keys have their own names. Specifically,
|
|
<tt class="key">DEL</tt>, <tt class="key">ESC</tt>, <tt class="key">LFD</tt>, <tt class="key">SPC</tt>, <tt class="key">RET</tt>, and <tt class="key">TAB</tt> all
|
|
stand for themselves when seen in this text, or in an init file
|
|
(see <a href="Readline-Init-File.html#Readline-Init-File">Readline Init File</a>).
|
|
If your keyboard lacks a <tt class="key">LFD</tt> key, typing <tt class="key">C-j</tt> will
|
|
produce the desired character.
|
|
The <tt class="key">RET</tt> key may be labeled <tt class="key">Return</tt> or <tt class="key">Enter</tt> on
|
|
some keyboards.
