Oh look! Magic!

I think if bash had some interactive help with this magic when it appears then it would be a lot more helpful and a lot less magical.

I don't think bash really fits the type of program to have interactive tutorials. If you are serious about your command-line-fu its worth giving the manual a good read.

bind -P | grep '\\e'

https://www.gnu.org/software/bash/manual/

My favorite by far is '\e.' or 'M-.' which inserts the last arg from your previous command. Discovering this led me down the bash rabbit-hole of finding new commands, creating my own and really enjoying the bash shell. Did you know you can execute arbitrary code as one of these commands? I had one that ran 'docker ps' so I could list my containers in the middle of typing a command.
