[Linux-bruxelles] daemon console and tty

[Carlos Betancourt]

Bash's key binding mecanism and the readline library (.inputrc file) are
designed to do exactly what you want.

First, in order to display your current key bindings type the command
'bind -p' (output in inputrc format) or 'bind -P' (output in
human-readable format). Read it and you'll discover new key bindings you
didn't know.

Now, to answer your real question: you can bind a key sequence to a
command with 'bind -x keyseq:shell-command'.
Thus, you can try:
bind -x '"\C-x\C-m":"mutt"'  --> Control-x + Control-m == mutt
bind -x '"\C-x\C-e":"emacs"' -->  	idem           == emacs

You should read the section "Readline Key Bindings" in the bash man
page.
Also "bind --help" can be usefull.

If you want to reasign all your key bindings do a "bind -p > .inputrc"
and then edit the .inputrc to custumize it to your taste.
"bind -l" will give you the names of readline functions you can use.

If you are in the console I don't recommend you to use "ALT+Fn" as it's
the sequence for virtual console change.

I hope it helps!
