Looking at the bash manpage, you can also use the 'bind' command to bash to change your keybindings at runtime; 'bind -P' will list the current bindings. >i don't know why it's doing it when you press esc twice. i have to press >esc four times to do it... Is this on a console or over a terminal? It may be that you have to press escape twice to get a single escape character to be read; that is, escape may be acting as a sticky modifier, and you have to hit it twice to get the actuasl keycode.
