Description of the new feature/enhancement
Many users, especially those with Emacs muscle memory, expect Ctrl+e to move the cursor to the end of the line (the EndOfLine function).
With the introduction of predictions, many of these same users want to bind Ctrl+e to also accept the full inline suggestion, similar to how RightArrow works.
The current, discoverable way to do this is:
Set-PSReadLineKeyHandler -Chord 'Ctrl+e' -Function AcceptSuggestionHowever, this binding completely overrides the original EndOfLine behavior. This forces the user to choose between one function or the other, which is a poor experience.
Proposed technical implementation details (optional)
I propose adding a new, built-in PSReadLine function (e.g., EndOfLineOrAcceptSuggestion) that intelligently combines both behaviors.
The logic for this new function would be:
- If the cursor is not at the end of the line, perform the
EndOfLineaction. - If the cursor is already at the end of the line, perform the
AcceptSuggestionaction.
This would create a "smart" key binding that "does the right thing" based on context.
