I think I should just type my postings in English (re-reading them left me
with no hope of pleading I had been misunderstood -- what gibberish :-).

a) I think that ^W,^@ and ^Y should be as in tcsh, i.e. that emacs users
   would like that better than the traditional unix bindings.  It's the
   "I have only one brain" idea.

b) While I like the idea of a true ^R better than tcsh's approximation, I
   think that bash'es behaviour of leaving the current line in the prompt and
   ignoring it is counter-intuitive.  When a reverse i-search in emacs shows
   "foo" in the prompt, and you type "bar", you expect it to search for
   "foobar", not "bar".  So one of two things: either make bash search for
   "foo" when you type ^R after typing "foo" (which resembles) tcsh, or
    clear the prompt.  In any case, make the prompt match what is being
    searched for.
