Re: keyboard bell on console

Quoting Brian Stults ([EMAIL PROTECTED]):
 How do you disable the keyboard bell at the console (not in X)?  I have
 debian on my laptop and I have a fetish for tab-completion.  It can get
 a little embarassing on airplanes with the bell ringing constantly.

I use, in ~/.inputrc

set bell-style visible

which makes the screen flash (both VCs and xterms) instead of beeping.
man bash gives more details. For some reason, the main documentation
is hidden away in info rluserman. Quite how one is meant to come up with
rluserman is beyond me.

But, for others, it seems to imply that if you have a ~/.inputrc,
you lose the effects of /etc/inputrc unless you $include it.

Cheers,

Put set bell-style none in /etc/inputrc.

The bash man page says you can use -
set bell-style none
set show-all-if-ambiguous on

in ~.inputrc

I didn't find that to work.  

This I did -
$ echo -e \33[10;20]
