It does require explicit effort: you have to type the key sequence. There are lots of useful functions used by nobody except the half-dozen people who know about inputrc. It's easy to tell users to type a certain key sequence. As for consuming a binding: rl_bind_key_if_unbound_in_map(), as the name would suggest, defers to user-specified keybindings, and C-x C-w isn't taken by anything by default. It's a convenient key sequence, and the Emacs command bound to it, write-file, doesn't make any sense in a readline context. Doing this substitution directly on the command line is a hell of a lot more convenient than using editing commands to wrap a word in $(cygpath -w ...). -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
