I find that inputrc entries work in console mode but not in X. Further, testing just now with a silly test entry: cat ~/.inputrc: ## C-x C-r reread init files Control-o: "now what" That even in console mode I get really bad behavior. Ctrl-o inserts `now what' as expected but then I find that any attempts thereafter to do some command like ls or whatever, when I press instead of running the command `ls' I get `lsnow what' and the ls command doesn't fire any press of prints `now what'. I'm guessing some kind of conflict with keyboard settings but mine are totally stock. I've done no customizing in that area. I'd be interested to here what others see when they use ~/.inputrc. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
