+ | ======Synopsis: | ||
+ | [[xtype]] < | ||
+ | [[xtype]] -literal < | ||
+ | |||
+ | ======Description: | ||
+ | In the first form, without arguments, the [[xtype]] command has the same | ||
+ | behavior as [[type]]. | ||
+ | |||
+ | When used in the second format, each character in < | ||
+ | input line, **ignoring any key binding it might have**. | ||
+ | treated as though it were bound to [[bind self_insert|self_insert]]. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Whereas the [[type]] command changes the ^ character followed by another | ||
+ | character into a control character, [[xtype|xtype -l]] treats them as two | ||
+ | individual characters. | ||
+ | followed by another character into the second character, but again, | ||
+ | [[xtype|xtype -l]] treats them as two individual characters. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ======Options: | ||
+ | |-literal < | ||
+ | |||
+ | ======Examples: | ||
+ | To literally insert a caret followed by a instead of whatever control-A is | ||
+ | bound to: | ||
+ | xtype -l now inserting a ^A is easy! | ||
