Hi all, Strange condition that i can't find the solution to.
My bash for RH 3.4.6, is 3.00.15(1) I have a .inputrc file with some settings like "\C-w": kill-region "\M-u": upcase-word The \C-w bind is different than the default ( which is to unix-word- rubout ) I can change this by doing a bind -f .inputrc but it doesn't keep the value. What I mean is that it temporarily changes the value, but then changes it back to default. The way I verify this is as follows: bind -f .inputrc '"\C-w":kill-region' && bind -p | grep "kill-region" "\C-w": kill-region But if I do bind -f .inputrc sleep 3 bind -p | grep "kill-region" I get # kill-region (not bound) Even the commands bind -u unix-word-rubout don't work either for more than a split second. Any idea what is causing this immediate reloading all of the time ? Thanks for any suggestions.
