I wanted to ask here if anyone objects to a change to inputrc that Daniel
told
me about. It would be to replace the present behavior of page up & page down
keys in readline - now they go to beginning and end of history, when they
could be used as search buttons. Here's a quote from #sourcemage:

<+morfic> "\e[5~": history-search-backward and "\e[6~":
history-search-forward change them to that
<+iuso> morfic: hm, searching forward & backward is different than using up
and down keys?
<+iuso> morfic: oh i get it, search finds the previous/next command in
history
corresponding to what's presently written?
<+morfic> iuso: comment the original lines, add the ones i pasted, then
start typing a command you use a lot but have not typed in a while, hit
pageup, if it is still in history, it's ready to use
<+morfic> iuso: exactly
