I tried to customize R completion in my .inputrc like this:
$if RCustomCompletion
Control-q: "q(save=\"no\")\n"
$endif
I looked in the R source to find about RCustomCompletion
BUBBA$ grep -r 'rl_readline_name' *
src/unix/sys-std.c: rl_readline_name = "RCustomCompletion";
but this poster:
https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-help/2008-September/173828.html
sounds like he found the same information in the docs somewhere.
But it doesn't seem to work. Setting the exact same binding
globally (i.e. not in an $if) gives the desired result. Other
applications seem to work about as expected, for example the
following workaround gives the desired result for the programs
I use regularly:
Control-q: "q(save=\"no\")\n"
$if Bash
Control-q: "\C-d"
$endif
$if bc
Control-q: "\C-d"
$endif
$if perldb
Control-q: "\C-d"
$endif
