33.4.9 Customizing readline

As mentioned earlier Octave uses the GNU readline library for command-line editing and history features. It is possible to customize how readline works through a configuration file.

Built-in Function: read_readline_init_file (file)

Read the readline library initialization file file. If file is omitted, read the default initialization file (normally ‘~/.inputrc’).

See section `Readline Init File' in GNU Readline Library, for details.
