daniil-berg 7166d9196a fix(shell): bind arrows directly for bash history search
The macro form `"\e[A": "\C-x\C-p\C-e"` ran history-search-backward then
end-of-line to mimic zsh's cursor-at-end. But history-search-* takes its
prefix from start-of-line to point, and `\C-e` moves point to the end, so
the next Up searched for the whole recalled line, found nothing, and left
Up/Down dead after one press. Bind arrows straight to the search functions;
pure readline has no history-search-end widget, so cursor lands at the
prefix boundary.

# Readline config (bash line editing + any readline program: python, psql...).
# Set via $INPUTRC; see shell/exports. zsh ignores this (uses ZLE); its
# equivalent prefix-search bindings live in zsh/.zshrc.
#
# Pull in distro defaults; a custom INPUTRC otherwise replaces them entirely.

# zsh-style prefix history search: type a prefix, Up/Down walk matching
# history entries. Empty prefix = previous/next.

# Bind arrows straight to the search functions. Do NOT wrap in a macro that
# appends end-of-line (\C-e) to mimic zsh's cursor-at-end: \C-e moves point to
# the line end, and history-search-* takes its prefix from start-of-line to
# point -- so the next press searches for the whole recalled line, finds
# nothing, and Up/Down go dead. Pure readline has no history-search-end widget;
# cursor lands at the prefix boundary, which is readline's intended behavior.
