Octave already includes a function called read_readline_init_file, so
I suppose we could add something like
read_readline_init_file (sprintf ("%s%s%s", startupfiledir, filesep,
"inputrc"));
to the system-wide octaverc file (one is already installed, but I
think it is empty except for a comment), and then also install a
default inputrc file that contains the lines I sent earlier. Would
you like to submit a patch that does that?
