Hello,

is there any way to reset all the key bindings to it's default values in
current shell session?
If no, was it done intentionally? Can it be considered as a feature
request?
Set to default values at what point? When the shell starts? After bash sets
its own key bindings? After reading the readline startup files?
I mean, if I screwed up the bindings somehow with `bind` command, I would
like to restore default bindings without restarting the shell. Just by a
command, signal, etc..
If you want some kind of `undo' for bindings, then it would seem reasonable
to save the current set of bindings output by `bind -p' (possibly also
specifying a keymap) to a file, edit it to the form you want, then use
`bind -f' to restore that set of key bindings from the file if you want to
roll back from an experiment.

For that, user had to know beforehand that no straightforward way of resetting it exists.

So I think it should be documented that way, or in-built facilities to reset provided.
