And there's your problem. That is not the proper syntax for a .inputrc file (it is NOT for shell commands, but for readline commands, which have an entirely different syntax). Read 'man readline'. By starting a line with 'echo', you tried to define a macro for the key 'e', explaining why 'e' did nothing for you. - -- Don't work too hard, make some time for fun as well!
