I recently posted a question about binding the arrow keys to the
obvious functions. Thanks to all those who answered my question.
Now I have the following question.
I have the following in my .bash_profile:
foo () {
echo -n bar
}
And the line:
M-f: foo
in my .inputrc, I don't get M-f bound to foo. Instead I get a beep
from M-f. Is there any way to get this kind of behaviour?
Alternatively, can I bind a key to a *sequence* of command-line
editing commands, rather than a single command (a la cmu-shell
macros)?
Thanks again for your help.
