That is standard behaviour for most modern shells.

The readln() function has nothing to do with libreadline.

The problem you are seeing is due to the shell you are using and the
key binding options you have assigned or defaulted to in the shell
and/or the terminal emulator. It has nothing to do with FPC.

Try:

man 1 bash

and see how you can set the options you need.
