| Aug 16, 2013 at 13:17 | comment | added | A. Donda | Thank you! Good to know, but I don't think I'll do that. Breaking keybindings everywhere is a bit too much just to make bash do my bidding... I take it then that distinguishing based on timing is something that readline doesn't do? Though other console programs like vim must do something like that, since Esc and Arrows are functional at the same time. | |
