gdb: Editing
22.2 Command Editing
====================
GDB reads its input commands via the "Readline" interface. This GNU
library provides consistent behavior for programs which provide a
command line interface to the user. Advantages are GNU Emacs-style or
"vi"-style inline editing of commands, 'csh'-like history substitution,
and a storage and recall of command history across debugging sessions.
You may control the behavior of command line editing in GDB with the
command 'set'.
'set editing'
'set editing on'
Enable command line editing (enabled by default).
'set editing off'
Disable command line editing.
'show editing'
Show whether command line editing is enabled.
(rluserman)Command Line Editing, for more details about the
Readline interface. Users unfamiliar with GNU Emacs or 'vi' are
encouraged to read that chapter.
