In the man page for bind it says I can make modifications to the settings by creating a ~/.inputrc. I tried that, but it doesn't seem to have any affect on the settings. Is it overridden by the /etc/inputrc?
Also, is there a way to echo the key codes that I would put in such a file? For example, I want to map Ctrl+Delete to copy region as kill. How do I find out what the acceptable representation for that combination would be?
You read the "READLINE"-Section in "man bash" ?

As it turns out, there was a line in the /etc/profile which would switch the $INPUTRC to my ~/.inputrc, but that only happened when I logged into the KDE. The READLINE section of the bash man page doesn't address the questions I asked. Do you know where the answers can be found? STH
