Unbind Ctrl-k (and Ctrl-j)

[metaturso]

When using Emacs-like keybindings Ctrl-k should kill the line forward, i.e. cut from the cursor up to the end of the line. Right now it moves the selection up instead.

How do I unbind Ctrl-k, and Ctrl-j while I'm at it, and let readline handle them as intended?

I think your best option would be to remap the keys in your FZF_DEFAULT_OPTS or FZF_DEFAULT_OPTS_FILE to change how fzf responds to them.

key	default action in fzf
⌃ Control + k	up
⌃ Control + j	down

Here's an example of how to remap keys, all available actions are listed in the fzf man page.

export FZF_DEFAULT_OPTS="--bind=ctrl-j:accept,ctrl-k:kill-line"

That's pretty neat actually. Thanks for the example.
