how to make shortcuts work as in bash/readline?

[tkossak]

Hi,

Is it possible to make ctrl-d or alt-f behave like in bash (readline) or other shells?

Current behavior in clifm:
When I press ctrl-d, it exits clifm, no matter if i'm in the middle of writing new command or nothing is entered yet.
When I press alt-f it moves one character forward (instead of one word).

What I would like it to behave:
ctrl-d should send EOF (exit shell) only when nothing is entered in the command line.
When I enter any text, ctrl-d should work like delete button.
alt-f should move cursor to next word (not next character).
That's how it works in bash. Is it possible for these shortcuts to work the same in clifm?

Thank you.

I use clifm v1.10.

Hi @tkossak. Thanks for reporting. I'll take a look at it as soon as I can (seems a reasonable demand btw).

Well, It was easier to implement than I thought it would. Please give it a try a let me know if it works fine for you too.

EDIT: Just in case, you need to recompile/install the latest git version.

Wow, I didn't expect such fast response, thank you very much (also for this wonderful software - I'm just learning everything but I already like it very much).

As for the keys - alt-f works perfectly now, but ctrl-d works as backspace instead of delete :) (ctrl-h is for backspace in readline)

Ok. I'll fix it.
