- sophacles 16y agoIt was originally an emacs binding. Then readline picked it up as part of its "emacs-style bindings". The name is not only cute, but also descriptive.
- onedognight 16y agoIt was originally the terminal escape sequence for kill to end of line (ESC k) which is what emacs used to emit when you typed Ctrl-k.
