How would readline tell the difference? Why have the useless `mm' capability at all, then? If `km' is used to indicate the presence of a meta key, and users need to configure its behavior separately, what function does `mm' serve? If the answer is that you want a way for applications to make sure there's an 8-bit path between the terminal and the terminal driver, then readline's behavior is appropriate.
`mm' tells how to make the terminal provide that capability; it does not tell whether the user wants to use it. -- Thomas E. Dickey http://invisible-island.net ftp://invisible-island.net
