As I see it, the main problem is reproducing all the keybindings. I'm certain that every user of readline has their own habitual set of emacs keystrokes that differs slightly from everyone elses, so inevitably the full complement will need to be supported. Then there is parsing of the .inputrc file which can /re/bind any keystroke. And of course, just to be awkward, there are vi-mode users like me, where the keystroke set is entirely different anyway.
It would be nice to have those bindings but just having backspace and left-right cursors work would already be a huge improvement over nothing. -- Alastair
