These mappings emulate the key combos I use most frequently in
bash/readline's emacs mode::
cnoremap <C-O> <C-D>
cnoremap <C-D> <Del>
cnoremap <C-A> <Home>
cnoremap <C-B> <Left>
cnoremap <C-E> <End>
cnoremap <C-F> <Right>
cnoremap <C-N> <Down>
cnoremap <C-P> <Up>
cnoremap <Esc>b <S-Left>
cnoremap <Esc>f <S-Right>
In order to make CTRL-D reproduce bash's behavior (delete the character
before the cursor), I first had to remap it to CTRL-O so that the
original functionality (pattern matching) remains available.
I use pattern matching extensively to find what I'm looking for in Vim's
help system and I find it much more practical than 'wildmenu'.
