octave: Customizing readline

 
 2.4.6 Customizing ‘readline’
 ----------------------------
 
 Octave uses the GNU Readline library for command-line editing and
 history features.  Readline is very flexible and can be modified through
 a configuration file of commands (See the GNU Readline library for the
 exact command syntax).  The default configuration file is normally
 ‘~/.inputrc’.
 
    Octave provides two commands for initializing Readline and thereby
 changing the command line behavior.
 
  -- : readline_read_init_file (FILE)
      Read the readline library initialization file FILE.
 
      If FILE is omitted, read the default initialization file (normally
      ‘~/.inputrc’).
 
      (readline)Readline Init File, for details.
 
      See also: readline_re_read_init_file
      XREFreadline_re_read_init_file.
 
  -- : readline_re_read_init_file ()
      Re-read the last readline library initialization file that was
      read.
 
      (readline)Readline Init File, for details.
 
      See also: readline_read_init_file
      XREFreadline_read_init_file.
