I can bounce between apps in Chrome OS by pressing alt-N
, where N is the position of my app on the status bar. Useful!
But when I'm in the bash shell of my Nitrous.io box, pressing alt-N
to bounce to a different app gives bash a command: (arg: N)
.
What does the (arg: N)
command do in bash? A five minute search taught me plenty of hotkeys, but none with alt + number key.
And can I disable it?

You can remove them in an exactly same way as any other shortcut – with
bind -r
If you hate loops, you may do it manually:
If you do not want this modifiers not only in Bash sessions but everywhere where GNU Readline provides them, add the following lines not in your
.bashrc
but in your.inputrc
:(Yes, just list them).
