I reported this upstream, and received this response: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.shells.bash.bugs/8315 Basically, ~/.inputrc settings are parsed only once, while stty settings are ignored in readline 4.x, reparsed for every command (thus overriding ~/.inputrc) in readline 5.0, and user-settable in the upcoming readline 5.1 whether stty settings are reparsed or ignored for every command. Readline 5.1 is still in alpha, and while I have tried building it for cygwin, I have yet to work out all the bugs. So until then, if you want ~/.inputrc to change the default meaning of a character that is also assigned to a terminal function (check "stty -a" for those characters), you have to make stty and ~/.inputrc agree on what the key will do. -- Eric Blake -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
