<dl>
<dt><code>re-read-init-file (C-x C-r)</code><a name="index-re_002dread_002dinit_002dfile-_0028C_002dx-C_002dr_0029-2275"></a><dd>Read in the contents of the <var>inputrc</var> file, and incorporate
any bindings or variable assignments found there.
<br><dt><code>abort (C-g)</code><a name="index-abort-_0028C_002dg_0029-2276"></a><dd>Abort the current editing command and
ring the terminal's bell (subject to the setting of
<code>bell-style</code>).
<br><dt><code>do-uppercase-version (M-a, M-b, M-</code><var>x</var><code>, ...)</code><a name="index-do_002duppercase_002dversion-_0028M_002da_002c-M_002db_002c-M_002d_0040var_007bx_007d_002c-_0040dots_007b_007d_0029-2277"></a><dd>If the metafied character <var>x</var> is lowercase, run the command
that is bound to the corresponding uppercase character.
<br><dt><code>prefix-meta (&lt;ESC&gt;)</code><a name="index-prefix_002dmeta-_0028_0040key_007bESC_007d_0029-2278"></a><dd>Metafy the next character typed. This is for keyboards
without a meta key. Typing &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">&lt;ESC&gt; f</span></samp>&rsquo; is equivalent to typing
<kbd>M-f</kbd>.
<br><dt><code>undo (C-_ or C-x C-u)</code><a name="index-undo-_0028C_002d_005f-or-C_002dx-C_002du_0029-2279"></a><dd>Incremental undo, separately remembered for each line.
<br><dt><code>revert-line (M-r)</code><a name="index-revert_002dline-_0028M_002dr_0029-2280"></a><dd>Undo all changes made to this line. This is like executing the <code>undo</code>
command enough times to get back to the beginning.
<br><dt><code>tilde-expand (M-~)</code><dd>Perform tilde expansion on the current word.
<br><dt><code>set-mark (C-@)</code><a name="index-set_002dmark-_0028C_002d_0040_0040_0029-2281"></a><dd>Set the mark to the point. If a
numeric argument is supplied, the mark is set to that position.
<br><dt><code>exchange-point-and-mark (C-x C-x)</code><a name="index-exchange_002dpoint_002dand_002dmark-_0028C_002dx-C_002dx_0029-2282"></a><dd>Swap the point with the mark. The current cursor position is set to
the saved position, and the old cursor position is saved as the mark.
<br><dt><code>character-search (C-])</code><a name="index-character_002dsearch-_0028C_002d_005d_0029-2283"></a><dd>A character is read and point is moved to the next occurrence of that
character. A negative count searches for previous occurrences.
<br><dt><code>character-search-backward (M-C-])</code><a name="index-character_002dsearch_002dbackward-_0028M_002dC_002d_005d_0029-2284"></a><dd>A character is read and point is moved to the previous occurrence
of that character. A negative count searches for subsequent
occurrences.
<br><dt><code>insert-comment (M-#)</code><a name="index-insert_002dcomment-_0028M_002d_0023_0029-2285"></a><dd>Without a numeric argument, the value of the <code>comment-begin</code>
variable is inserted at the beginning of the current line.
If a numeric argument is supplied, this command acts as a toggle: if
the characters at the beginning of the line do not match the value
of <code>comment-begin</code>, the value is inserted, otherwise
the characters in <code>comment-begin</code> are deleted from the beginning of
the line.
In either case, the line is accepted as if a newline had been typed.
<br><dt><code>dump-functions ()</code><a name="index-dump_002dfunctions-_0028_0029-2286"></a><dd>Print all of the functions and their key bindings to the
Readline output stream. If a numeric argument is supplied,
the output is formatted in such a way that it can be made part
of an <var>inputrc</var> file. This command is unbound by default.
<br><dt><code>dump-variables ()</code><a name="index-dump_002dvariables-_0028_0029-2287"></a><dd>Print all of the settable variables and their values to the
Readline output stream. If a numeric argument is supplied,
the output is formatted in such a way that it can be made part
of an <var>inputrc</var> file. This command is unbound by default.
<br><dt><code>dump-macros ()</code><a name="index-dump_002dmacros-_0028_0029-2288"></a><dd>Print all of the Readline key sequences bound to macros and the
strings they output. If a numeric argument is supplied,
the output is formatted in such a way that it can be made part
of an <var>inputrc</var> file. This command is unbound by default.
<br><dt><code>emacs-editing-mode (C-e)</code><dd>When in <code>vi</code> command mode, this causes a switch to <code>emacs</code>
editing mode.
<br><dt><code>vi-editing-mode (M-C-j)</code><dd>When in <code>emacs</code> editing mode, this causes a switch to <code>vi</code>
editing mode.
