That's the one. This will only work for programs using readline however. Also, you need to restart the program in question, eg. bash. This is my ~/.inputrc: set convert-meta off set meta-flag on set output-meta on set bell-style none But those meta-lines are there for internationalization purposes. See readline(3) for more info.
