Doesn't work for me - for some reason bash is not picking up those
changes in my $HOME/.inputrc.
But this looks like a great way to achieve what you are after. One
problem with the script I posted is it won't handle line-continuation.
Eg.
find . |\
wc
But your method should handles this, as long as you use Alt-k for all
but the final line.
Looks like READLINE gives you a lot of powerful features here.
