                                    CTRL-V prompts for a key command (allows
                                    escaping from the field).

                                    Note that on most UNIX hosts, CTRL-V is bound
                                    via stty to the lnext (literal-next) code but
                                    the exact behavior of that is implementation
                                    specific.  On Solaris you must type CTRL-V
                                    twice to use it, since it quotes the following
                                    keystroke.

                   CTRL-U         - Inside text input line or field,
                                    erase input line (more input line commands)
                                  - Outside of text input or field,
                                    undo returning to previous topic.
