Re: [Help-bash] bash insert mode mappings

[Sinbad]

hi clark,

fortunately this worked for me, i'm running GNU bash, version 3.2.25(1)-release (x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu);

but i'm not able to avoid recursive mappings, the equivalent of inoremap in vim.

anyways thanks for the help.

cheers

is there way of doing just like vim insert mode mappings in bash.

basically i want to certain key combinations to be mapped to certain text.

for example.

imap teh the 

is it possible to do this in bash.

Try like this:

  bind -m vi-insert '"teh": "The"'

But seems like this does not work (Tested with 4.0.28 and 4.1.9):

  bind -m vi-insert '"teh": "the"'

There must be a bug here.
