Hi; I have spent hours on this over the last couple of years. I am obviously doing something fundamentally wrong -- but I can't figure out what it is. I have gone over bash/readline several times as well as googled. I am sure I am missing something basic. Here is my file: # Bill's inputrc for ReadLine # '$include' directs readline to the file # with 'universal' settings. # Place 'export /etc/inputrc' in .bash_profile $include /etc/inputrc $if mode=emacs "\C-x\C-r": re-read-init-file Meta-Rubout: backward-kill-word "M-C-b": backward-word "\M-\C-f": forward-word $endif I have tried M & C with and without the escape. Nothing seems to work. 'Meta-Rubout: backward-kill-word' seems to work unless the binding is coming from some other file. None of the other bindings work in either gterminal or vtX. $VISUAL = emacs. -- Regards Bill Fedora 12, Gnome 2.28 Evo.2.28, Emacs 23.1.1 -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
