David,
Key sequence generation is not a shell issue, it's defined by the
terminal emulator which gets key-codes from the OS and generates
sequences of bytes to send through a pseudo-tty to whatever application
(shell or otherwise) that's reading. Likewise, it interprets things
like cursor-addr

bash doesn't have a "system-wide inputrc" (although you /could/ make
one
Lee,
We don't approve of all that humor hereabouts.
This one _is_ documented in the BASH manual page. Here's the binding I use:
"\M-[3~": delete-char # Delete
When you find this Readline action in the BASH manual page, you'll find

In bash you can add the following

it. In those days, I "reconfigured" my keyboard to fix this
abortion.
