For vi (at least if it's vim), 'set visualbell t_vb=' in ~/.vimrc. man doesn't beep, so you must mean a pager like less, in which case you want to set the environment variable $LESS to '-Q'. > That's why i was trying the setterm -blength 0 command. That works as well, of course. However, it is not a piece of readline configuration and so won't work in ~/.inputrc. It should go in a shell initialization file instead, such as ~/.bash_profile or ~/.bashrc (see bash(1)/INVOCATION).
