How to bind Shift-Tab keyboard shortcut to an action in Bash?
I tried to discover key code of Shift-Tab combination by
# sed -n l
^[[Z
\033[Z$
^C
and
# read a ; echo $a | hexdump -cC
^[[Z
0000000 033 [ Z \n
00000000 1b 5b 5a 0a |.[Z.|
00000004
Based on that I assume the key code is \e[Z
. So bind "\e[Z":menu-complete-backward
should do the trick. However it binds the action to \.
$ bind -p > bind.before
$ bind "\e[Z":menu-complete-backward
$ bind -p > bind.after
$ diff -y --suppress-common-lines bind.before bind.after
# menu-complete-backward (not bound) | "\\": menu-complete-backward
"\\": self-insert <
