disagree, it should be on. but let's focus on unrelated interesting parts you've proposed. > Absent having bracketed paste off by default, it might be nice > to have a /etc/inputrc.d/ directory that can have it's contents > included by /etc/inputrc. it would be nice if the $include directive supported directories, or at least globs. then one could do: $include /etc/inputrc.d/ $include /etc/inputrc.d/*.conf the glob approach would sidestep the bikeshedding of what implicit globs readline should use, and whether it should handle dot files, or ~ files, or whatever else. > That way there's not another > config file that's different from the distro default that > has to have changes merged on system upgrade. (On the third > hand, yet more complication....) you can already do this now. readline reads your ~/.inputrc first, and then falls back to /etc/inputrc only if that doesn't exist. so do: $ cat <<\EOF >~/.inputrc set enable-bracketed-paste off $include /etc/inputrc EOF or don't include the distro default if you don't want to ever rely on it. -mike
