/etc/inputrc
 
Linux From Scratch 12.0/chapter09_inputrc — Greek
The <filename>inputrc</filename> file is the configuration file for the readline library, which provides editing capabilities while the user is entering a line from the terminal. It works by translating keyboard inputs into specific actions. Readline is used by bash and most other shells as well as many other applications.
 
Linux From Scratch 12.0/chapter09_inputrc — Greek
Most people do not need user-specific functionality so the command below creates a global <filename>/etc/inputrc</filename> used by everyone who logs in. If you later decide you need to override the defaults on a per user basis, you can create a <filename>.inputrc</filename> file in the user's home directory with the modified mappings.

For more information on how to edit the <filename>inputrc</filename> file, see <command>info bash</command> under the <emphasis>Readline Init File</emphasis> section. <command>info readline</command> is also a good source of information.

Below is a generic global <filename>inputrc</filename> along with comments to explain what the various options do. Note that comments cannot be on the same line as commands. Create the file using the following command:
