bindctl command history

[Spain, Dr. Jeffry A.]

> I looked into this, and if you build Python from source on Ubuntu, readline isn't included by default. I'll figure out how to make this work and update my build notes on the bind10 Wiki.

All that is necessary to enable readline support in Python 3 is "apt-get install libreadline6-dev" prior to building Python. With readline enabled in bindctl, both <Backspace> and <Ctrl>-<Backspace> delete the character to the left of the cursor. <Delete> and <Ctrl>-<Delete> delete the character to the right. All the arrow keys work as expected for command history and command line editing. Jeff.
