-
- <p>You can pass numeric arguments to Readline commands. Sometimes the
- argument acts as a repeat count, other times it is the <i>sign</i> of the
- argument that is significant. If you pass a negative argument to a
- command which normally acts in a forward direction, that command will
- act in a backward direction. For example, to kill text back to the
- start of the line, you might type ‘<samp>M-- C-k</samp>’.
- </p>
- <p>The general way to pass numeric arguments to a command is to type meta
- digits before the command. If the first ‘digit’ typed is a minus
- sign (‘<samp>-</samp>’), then the sign of the argument will be negative. Once
- you have typed one meta digit to get the argument started, you can type
- the remainder of the digits, and then the command. For example, to give
- the <kbd>C-d</kbd> command an argument of 10, you could type ‘<samp>M-1 0 C-d</samp>’,
- which will delete the next ten characters on the input line.
