No.  I'm talking about the emacs-like key bindings the bash
provides.

Examples of key bindings also in gnuplots readline:
C-p: previous history line
C-n: next history line
C-r: incremental backward search in history

C-o is missing in gnuplot.  First, it executes the current line.  If
this is the line n in the history, line n+1 is loaded into the next
command line.  Thus, you can search a distinct line using (for
example) C-r <significant substring> and then execute the following
lines in the history using subsequent C-o.  Once used to it, this a
very convenient feature of the bash and it would be valuable to have
it in gnuplot, too.
