> I just want to point out that it’s actually emacs keybindings and not readline keybindings that is the correct term here :)
Not least, because Readline also supports Vi keybindings (`set editing-mode vi` in `.inputrc`), it just defaults to Emacs keybindings (equivalent to `set editing-mode emacs`).
Sure but nobody's going to refer to the non-default bindings as "readline" bindings. Meanwhile cli prompts are where most users are exposed to emacs bindings.
