            Bug ID: 26816
           Summary: tui-switch-mode readline bindings in inputrc are
                    ignored until readline re-read-init-file command
           Product: gdb
           Version: 8.1
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: gdb
          Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
          Reporter: sourceware.org at daveola dot com
  Target Milestone: ---

The tui-switch-mode command is available to readline bindings, but
unfortunately any bindings to that specific command are ignored unless the
readline "re-read-init-file" command is issued (even if the file has not
changed).


As an example, this  very simple .inputrc:

"y": re-read-init-file
"z": tui-switch-mode

The binding of a simple 'z' for the "tui-switch-mode" command (to toggle the
tui mode) is ignored until we reload the init file (using the binding 'y'). 
The binding is known, since we can't type 'z' - but the tui-switch-mode does
not occur.

We know the .inputrc file has been read, since it recognizes the 'y' binding,
as well as any other bindings we may put into the file.  Perhaps after loading
the initial readline config gdb is breaking some bindings in it's setup?

The workaround of reloading the inputrc was discovered by John W in this cygwin
bug:
