Insert a new line with a backslash with one key bind

[s417-lama]

Description

Add an input function 'new_line_with_backslash' and bind it to 'Ctrl-o' temporarily.

For example,

$ ps aux

and when we press Ctrl-o, a space, a backslash and a newline will automatically entered:

$ ps aux \
  (cursor is here) 

Then, we can write scripts like below more smartly by using this function, I think.

$ ps aux \
  | grep fish \
  | awk '{print $2}' \
  | xargs kill -9

It's better if it can be done with Shift+Enter, but most terminals treat 'Enter' and 'Shift+Enter' as the same and I couldn't.

There's no need to touch the C++ code here: `bind \co 'commandline -i \\\\\n'`. Am Di., 10. Okt. 2017, 15:49 schrieb slama <notifications@github.com>:
