17 | <para>The <filename>/etc/inputrc</filename> file deals with mapping |
---|
18 | the keyboard for specific situations. This file is the start-up file |
---|
19 | used by Readline — the input-related library — used by Bash |
---|
20 | and most other shells.</para> |
---|
21 | |
---|
22 | <para>Most people do not need user-specific keyboard mappings so |
---|
23 | the command below creates a global <filename>/etc/inputrc</filename> |
---|
24 | used by everyone who logs in. If you later decide you need to override |
---|
25 | the defaults on a per-user basis, you can create a |
---|
26 | <filename>.inputrc</filename> file in the user's home directory with |
---|
27 | the modified mappings.</para> |
---|
28 | |
---|
29 | <para>For more information on how to edit the <filename>inputrc</filename> |
---|
30 | file, see <command>info bash</command> under the <emphasis>Readline Init |
---|
31 | File</emphasis> section. <command>info readline</command> is also a good |
---|
32 | source of information.</para> |

34 | <para>Below is a generic global <filename>inputrc</filename> along |
---|
35 | with comments to explain what the various options do. Note that |

36 | comments cannot be on the same line as commands. Create the file |
