After reading this pdf: Bash Configuration - Shell dressing and this bash reference manual on bind, I wanted to find which keys are bound to history-search-backward: Code: $ bind -P \|grep history-search-backward history-search-backward can be found on "\M-O2A", "\M-O5A", "\M-[1;2A", "\M-[1;3A", "\M-[1;5A", ... I know that \M means meta and stands for an escape or alt key. How can i find out what the O2A means? and O5A etc ....
