any bindings or variable assignments found there.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>abort (C-g)</code>
<a name="index-abort-_0028C_002dg_0029"></a>
</dt>
<dd><p>Abort the current editing command and
ring the terminal&rsquo;s bell (subject to the setting of
<code>bell-style</code>).
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>do-lowercase-version (M-A, M-B, M-<var>x</var>, &hellip;)</code>
<a name="index-do_002dlowercase_002dversion-_0028M_002dA_002c-M_002dB_002c-M_002dx_002c-_2026_0029"></a>
</dt>
<dd><p>If the metafied character <var>x</var> is upper case, run the command
that is bound to the corresponding metafied lower case character.
The behavior is undefined if <var>x</var> is already lower case.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>prefix-meta (<span class="key">ESC</span>)</code>
<a name="index-prefix_002dmeta-_0028ESC_0029"></a>
</dt>
<dd><p>Metafy the next character typed.  This is for keyboards
without a meta key.  Typing &lsquo;<samp><span class="key">ESC</span> f</samp>&rsquo; is equivalent to typing
<kbd>M-f</kbd>.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>undo (C-_ or C-x C-u)</code>
<a name="index-undo-_0028C_002d_005f-or-C_002dx-C_002du_0029"></a>
</dt>
<dd><p>Incremental undo, separately remembered for each line.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>revert-line (M-r)</code>
<a name="index-revert_002dline-_0028M_002dr_0029"></a>
</dt>
<dd><p>Undo all changes made to this line.  This is like executing the <code>undo</code>
command enough times to get back to the beginning.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>tilde-expand (M-~)</code>
<a name="index-tilde_002dexpand-_0028M_002d_007e_0029"></a>
</dt>
<dd><p>Perform tilde expansion on the current word.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>set-mark (C-@)</code>
<a name="index-set_002dmark-_0028C_002d_0040_0029"></a>
</dt>
<dd><p>Set the mark to the point.  If a
numeric argument is supplied, the mark is set to that position.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>exchange-point-and-mark (C-x C-x)</code>
<a name="index-exchange_002dpoint_002dand_002dmark-_0028C_002dx-C_002dx_0029"></a>
</dt>
<dd><p>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.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>character-search (C-])</code>
<a name="index-character_002dsearch-_0028C_002d_005d_0029"></a>
</dt>
<dd><p>A character is read and point is moved to the next occurrence of that
character.  A negative count searches for previous occurrences.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>character-search-backward (M-C-])</code>
<a name="index-character_002dsearch_002dbackward-_0028M_002dC_002d_005d_0029"></a>
</dt>
<dd><p>A character is read and point is moved to the previous occurrence
of that character.  A negative count searches for subsequent
occurrences.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>skip-csi-sequence ()</code>
<a name="index-skip_002dcsi_002dsequence-_0028_0029"></a>
</dt>
<dd><p>Read enough characters to consume a multi-key sequence such as those
defined for keys like Home and End.  Such sequences begin with a
Control Sequence Indicator (CSI), usually ESC-[.  If this sequence is
bound to &quot;\e[&quot;, keys producing such sequences will have no effect
unless explicitly bound to a readline command, instead of inserting
stray characters into the editing buffer.  This is unbound by default,
but usually bound to ESC-[.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>insert-comment (M-#)</code>
<a name="index-insert_002dcomment-_0028M_002d_0023_0029"></a>
</dt>
<dd><p>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.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>dump-functions ()</code>
<a name="index-dump_002dfunctions-_0028_0029"></a>
</dt>
<dd><p>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.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>dump-variables ()</code>
<a name="index-dump_002dvariables-_0028_0029"></a>
</dt>
<dd><p>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.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>dump-macros ()</code>
<a name="index-dump_002dmacros-_0028_0029"></a>
</dt>
<dd><p>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.
</p>

</dd>
<dt><code>emacs-editing-mode (C-e)</code>
<a name="index-emacs_002dediting_002dmode-_0028C_002de_0029"></a>
</dt>
<dd><p>When in <code>vi</code> command mode, this causes a switch to <code>emacs</code>
editing mode.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>vi-editing-mode (M-C-j)</code>
<a name="index-vi_002dediting_002dmode-_0028M_002dC_002dj_0029"></a>
</dt>
<dd><p>When in <code>emacs</code> editing mode, this causes a switch to <code>vi</code>
editing mode.
