Anyone know why entries in ~/.inputrc (or for that matter)
/etc/inputrc are ignored in xterms?
I find that inputrc entries work in console mode but not in X.
Further, testing just now with a silly test entry:
cat ~/.inputrc:
## C-x C-r reread init files
Control-o: now what
That even in console mode I get really bad behavior.
Ctrl-o inserts `now what' as expected but then I find that any
attempts thereafter to do some command like ls or whatever, when I
press ENTER instead of running the command `ls' I get
`lsnow what' and the ls command doesn't fire any press of ENTER
prints `now what'.
I'm guessing some kind of conflict with keyboard settings but mine are
totally stock. I've done no customizing in that area.
I'd be interested to here what others see when they use ~/.inputrc.
They work fine for me under KDE's konsole.
