bash in-line brace expansion Does bash/readline have a binding or a function that a key combination can be binded to in order to expand in-line braces? Similar to the way `M-* key` combination can be used for in-line globbing expansion. So upon performing a key-combination `$ {a..z}` will turn in place into : `$ a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z`

$ $(echo {a..z})


`CTRL` \+ `ALT` \+ `e`


$ a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z


Note that it will expand all the expansions on the command line. No matter where the cursor is placed.
With this command (and `a=this; b=that`):


$ echo "$a"; $(echo {a..m}); echo "$b"


This will be expanded:


$ echo this; a b c d e f g h i j k l m ; echo that


From `man bash`:

> shell-expand-line (M-C-e)
> Expand the line as the shell does. This performs alias and history expansion as well as all of the shell word expansions. See HISTORY EXPANSION below for a description of history expansion.
