Package: readline-common Version: 6.3-8 Severity: wishlist Tags: -1 patch pending
Hi, I would like to request that the mapping of the PageUp/PageDown keys to history-search-{forward,backward} be enabled by default in the inputrc file shipped by us. I don't know how popular this feature is in general, but I am a heavy user of it, and I also know several people who can't live without it. Having to modify your /etc/inputrc file (or provide another on your $HOME) is not practical and takes some time to figure out if you are new to Debian and don't really understand how readline works. I tried to find in the archives a technical reason that could explain why the feature is disabled by default, but I did not find anything. Therefore, I am sending a patch to do it. Please let me know if you need anything else.
