Very Computer

I bind some keys (Home, End,...) in my .bashrc, like:

bind '"\e[1~": "grep -i "'

But annoyingly these keys get rebound to beginning-of-line etc.
by the time bash returns prompt. Of course, I can rebind by
. .bashrc

This problem has come up only after I upgraded from RH5.2 to RH6.0
How can I tell bash to respect my key bindings at first place?

Vinod.

Either unset INPUTRC or rename /etc/inputrc.  The /etc/inputrc
Red Hat ships with 6.0 is badly broken.

You want to put it in your ~/.inputrc instead:

        "\e[1~": "grep -i "

etc. (no `bind').
