making bind -p human readable












0















The man page for bind appears not to link to a syntax explanation, so while attempting to convert bind -p into human readable format I can filter out the garbage from 483 down to 109, but then am only able to understand 73;



bind -p 2>/dev/null 
| grep -vP "digit-argument|do-lowercase-version|not bound|self-insert"
| perl -pe 's/\e/[alt]/g;s/\C/[control]/g'
| grep -P "[-]].""

For example I know one of these 3 must be alt;

but I know not which one, or what the others are. Is there a list of what these 36 typically map to?
