Command-line-editing

Command-line editing and command history are supported using either an external gnu readline library, an external BSD libedit library, or a built-in equivalent. This choice is a configuration option at the time gnuplot is built.

The editing commands of the built-in version are given below. Please note that the action of the DEL key is system-dependent. The gnu readline and BSD libedit libraries have their own documentation.
