Unfortunately, nothing happened on the terminal when I tried that.

  > Please paste your exact inputrc and bashrc

I have tried removing and replacing all of the files from the book in the
hopes that the issue would disappear but have not had any luck.

However, you are more than welcome to see my existing /etc/inputrc and
/etc/bashrc files here:

# Begin /etc/inputrc

# Allow the command prompt to wrap to the next line
set horizontal-scroll-mode Off

# Enable 8bit input
set meta-flag On
set input-meta On

# Turns off 8th bit stripping
set convert-meta Off

# Keep the 8th bit for display
set output-meta On

# none, visible or audible
set bell-style none

# All of the following map the escape sequence of the value
# contained in the 1st argument to the readline specific functions
"\eOd": backward-word
"\eOc": forward-word

# for linux console
"\e[1~": beginning-of-line
"\e[4~": end-of-line
"\e[5~": beginning-of-history
"\e[6~": end-of-history
"\e[3~": delete-char
"\e[2~": quoted-insert

# for xterm
"\eOH": beginning-of-line
"\eOF": end-of-line

# for Konsole
"\e[H": beginning-of-line
"\e[F": end-of-line

# End /etc/inputrc

(Note: This is actually a modified copy of my host's bashrc file that I
tried to use after the book's version did not help. Normally this is what I
use for my LFS system as its easier and I get used to using my aliases.
Half of the functions listed do nothing since it is a copy of the host's
bashrc.)
