[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #56151] esc should clear command line, edits shouldn't disable history

[Torsten Lilge]

Follow-up Comment #1, bug #56151 (project octave):

This is related to readline and is therefore not limited to the GUI. Actually,
Ctrl-U kills the current line to the beginning. You can also bind "ESC" to
"kill-whole-line" by adding


"\e":kill-whole-line


to your ~/.inputrc file. However, this is not recommanded since readline uses
ESC as some sort of modifier key. For details, please refer to, e.g.,
