Re: [Help-bash] Whether line editing disabled, to prevent "bash: bind: warning: line editing not enabled"

First of all, many thanks for your quick answer.

It looks like I will have to duplicate Bash' handling of INSIDE_EMACS in 
my shell script in order to prevent the warning from appearing. The 
logic is not quite straightforward and can change in the future.

May I suggest that Bash provides a way of detecting whether line editing 
is active? I mean a way for a shell script to check the result stored in 
variable no_line_editing.
