bind -p lists all bindings, and every character that does not do a special function should at least do self-insert. If a key combination is not bound, then it will not show up in bind -p. Therefore, the fact that bind -p | grep '"B"' failed to produce output is a good indication that 'B' is not bound, and it can be rectified by: bind B:self-insert (where you use the key sequence [ctrl-v][shift-B] to actually put B in the command line). > Igor > P.S.
