Feature Request: Ctrl-w, ctlrl-n, ctrl-p
In most terminal based apps, ctrl-w would delete backwards one word, and ctrl-n/p would either (1. move the cursor up/down in the text that is being typed, or 2. Cycle between previous, next command in the history).
This should probably be done in lambda-term. @diml?
@whitequark yes
@jordwalke C-n/p does what you describe with the last version of lambda-term. C-w is bound by default to cutting the current region to the clipboard, like in emacs. You can change it with the following ~/.lambda-term-inputrc file:
C-w: kill-prev-word
Sounds great!
those other commands are as follows:
C-n: history-next
C-p: history-prev
You can also type lambda-term-actions from the terminal to see all available commands.
