The bell scares the hell outta me whenever it creeps up because I backspaced too much on the command line. My suggestion: disable the system bell by default, unless no sound card is installed.

Anyone thinking of editing .inputrc can just pull the thing from the mainboard - I can assure you that you won't miss it. And for laptops, well, that has been tunable from keyboard or even software for *well over 15 years*, so just disable it in the mixer. + #7: Xylly Wyt (xyllywyt) (2018-04-21 01:43:55) + +1.
