# Enable up-arrow history traversal based on partial command
# https://askubuntu.com/questions/59846/bash-history-search-partial-up-arrow

# up arrow
"\e[A":history-search-backward
# down arrow
"\e[B":history-search-forward

# Alternatives so hand doesn't have to jump around:

# Alt + k
"\ek":history-search-backward
# Alt + j
"\ej":history-search-forward

# Replace move forward/backward by "word" to forward/backward by "shell-word"
# The default "word" is any sequence comprising of [A-Z], [a-z] and [0-9]
# Shell-word: "delimited by non-quoted shell metacharacters"
# Makes it much easier to go forward/backward one full argument at a time

# Ctrl + left arrow
"\e[1;5D":shell-backward-word
# Ctrl + right arrow
"\e[1;5C":shell-forward-word

# Alternatives so hand doesn't have to jump around:

# Alt + h
"\eh":shell-backward-word
# Alt + l
"\el":shell-forward-word # NOTE: disables existing "lowercase forward word" binding
                         #       (never used this)

# Notes:

# How to find which key combination corresponds to which escape sequence?

# In a bash shell, press Ctrl + V
# Press desired key combo
# See output, but replace ^[ with \e

# === TAB COMPETIONS ===

# Case-insensitive tab completion
set completion-ignore-case On

# Show list of ambiguous matches on first Tab press
set show-all-if-unmodified On
