Terminal may be using some kind of Readline, I dunno. But text objects in other OS X applications use emacs keybindings because NeXTSTEP has had them since time immemorial. Like 1990 or so. Doesn't have anything to do with GNU Readline so far as I know.
- tadfisher 13y agoIt's not Terminal that uses it; it's bash, and most shells that imitate bash.
- pyre 13y ago> Terminal may be using some kind of Readline Terminal.app passes the key sequences to the application running inside of the terminal. The default shell (bash) uses GNU readline, which has an emacs-mode and a vi-mode (emacs is the default). Terminal.app does not use any Cocoa text fields, so has nothing to do with the Emacs keybindings inherited from NeXTSTEP.
