.inputrc should be universal, and it is nearly. But not here. I don't want to have customize each tool individually.

- Veliladon 5y agoYou want independent projects to agree on something? You do realize this is open source, right?
- xyzzy_plugh 5y agoThey don't have to agree on anything, just use readline. It's already used by, or optionally used by, tons of software. Here's a non-exhaustive list that immediately come to mind: bash rc psql bc ftp GDB GPG Guile Lua NetworkManager Parted Python Ruby SQLite wpa_supplicant
- soraminazuki 5y ago> .inputrc should be universal Absolutely not. Using readline means completion and keybinding customization would be limited to what bash can do, or even worse as is typical with other readline based REPLs. What you're asking for is to gut a definitive feature of zsh only so that it can be bash. That provides zero value to zsh users.
