Is it possible to prevent readline from echoing the text entered through
a macro?
Example:
$ bind '"\eOP": "\C-aecho '\''<up>'\'':\C-m"'
$ echo '<up>':hello # i typed "hello" then pressed F1 key (\eOP)
<up>:hello
Want I am trying to achieve is ...
$ bind '"\eOP": "\C-aecho '\''<up>'\'':\C-m"'
$ hello # the macro leaves the line as it was
<up>:hello
It would also be ok to write blanks which would effectively erase the
line...
$ bind '"\eOP": "\C-aecho '\''<up>'\'':\C-m"'
$
<up>:hello
So I tried using the CSI concealĀ code like ...
$ bind '"\eOP": "\C-aecho \e34m'\''<up>'\'':\e0m\C-m"'
$ echo mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm'<up>':hello
mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm<up>:hello
But the default ESC binding is to metafy the next character. Removing or
replacing the ESC binding had no affect so a related question is "Is is
possible to embed CSI codes in a macro?
$ bind -r "ESC" # had no affect
$ bind '"ESC": ""' # had no affect
