The problem occurs also with gdb or ftp, for example. I think
the problem is in readline library. I copied my INPUTRC file in a
previous message, but I dont think the problem comes from this file or
something related to bash, once gdb and ftp dont work either.

Showkey shows a normal behaviour for my 'E' key. I tested
other keymaps, that's not where the problem is.

I have already done. It is in a previos message. Give a look,
it doesn't work with 'E' as it should and how it works for other keys.
Thank you for your help, Peter.
PS: Please, carbon copy the message to me.
