So I don't really like posting this to a bugs list, since I have no idea if this is a bug, but I tried this on a couple of general UNIX related lists, and haven't had any luck.
I have ^W bound to "backward-kill-word" in my .inputrc. On FreeBSD, Red Hat Linux, FC4, and anything else with a bash version > 3, I can't seem to get this to work as I expect. I've tried adding other changes to .inputrc, and they don't seem to be read either. I tried setting $INPUTRC to $HOME/.inputrc (even though that's the default), and that doesn't seem to work either. I've tried both: "\C-w": backward-kill-word and ^W: backward-kill-word (with a literal ^W) FreeBSD 5.4: $ echo $BASH_VERSION 3.00.16(1)-release $ uname -srm FreeBSD 5.4-RELEASE-p7 i386 Fedora Core 5: $ echo $BASH_VERSION 3.1.7(1)-release $ uname -srm Linux 2.6.15-1.2054_FC5 i686 I've used this on machines running bash v 2.05 and thereabouts w/ no problems. w _______________________________________________ Bug-bash mailing list Bug-bash@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-bash
