Custom Keybindings for Ipython terminal

Question

Is it possible to define custom keybindings and/or desactivate the default ones for Ipython terminal interface?

For example, I have bound C+j and C+l to move left and right in my terminal by configuring the ~/.inputrc file (Linux), but when using Ipython terminal, C+l is captured before and actually clears the screen.

So my questions are:

1) Is it possible to desactivate some keybindings of Ipython

2) Even better, is it possible to totally configure Ipython keymap?

Answer 1

Reposting as an answer:

You can set InteractiveShell.readline_parse_and_bind in a config file (default value is here). It takes a list of readline config commands.

IPython also uses .inputrc, but things in that config value take precendence, and Ctrl+L is in there by default.

Answer 2

For newer versions of IPython, TerminalInteractiveShell.shortcuts handles adds/changes to keybinds.

For example, to add C-] in addition to End for accepting the autocomplete suggestion, I added the following to my ipython_config.py:

c.TerminalInteractiveShell.shortcuts = [
    {
        "command": "IPython:auto_suggest.accept_or_jump_to_end",
        "new_keys": ["c-]"],
        "create": True,
    }
]
