Package: libreadline4
Version: 4.3-5
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

 just for fun I switched the editing mode to vi style.  One thing I
 noticed rather quickly is that C-l in _insert_ mode produces a ^L
 character, instead of issuing the clear-screen command.  Looking at the
 documentation I can't figure out if this is a feature or a bug.  From
 the docs it reads:

       While the Readline library does not have a full set of `vi'
       editing functions, it does contain enough to allow simple editing
       of the line.  The Readline `vi' mode behaves as specified in the
       POSIX 1003.2 standard.

       In order to switch interactively between `emacs' and `vi' editing
       modes, use the command `M-C-j' (bound to emacs-editing-mode when
       in `vi' mode and to vi-editing-mode in `emacs' mode).  The
       Readline default is `emacs' mode.

       When you enter a line in `vi' mode, you are already placed in
       `insertion' mode, as if you had typed an `i'.  Pressing <ESC>
       switches you into `command' mode, where you can edit the text of
       the line with the standard `vi' movement keys, move to previous
       history lines with `k' and subsequent lines with `j', and so
       forth.

 and that's pretty much it.  I suspect the last sentence in the first
 paragraph might have something to do with this, but that's just a
 guess.  If this is really a feature, could it be documented a _bit_
 more verbosely somewhere please?

 Oh, btw, I can't get C-M-j to work.  Perhaps I need to figure out which
 key is Meta.  I thought it was "Alt" (which xkeycaps confirms), but no
 cigar...
