Calling readline functions from a bash script
in [Shell]
|
From: Andreas Gaeb on 16 Apr 2010 04:19 Hello everybody, I'm writing a specific bash completion function from which I want to directly call a readline function (namely redraw-current-line). Is it possible to invoke those functions programmatically from a bash script, without any key press or binding involved? Thanks in advance, Andreas

From inside a script, I'm not even sure you can tell whether or not readline is doing anything at all. -s -- Copyright 2010, all wrongs reversed.

Certainly, in all the history of Usenet, no one has ever started reading and/or posting in a group entirely because they wanted to ask a particular question which was not easily answered by google searches. I mean, apart from it happening thousands of times a day, it's very rare indeed. -s -- Copyright 2010, all wrongs reversed.
