You'll also have disabled the rest of the settings in /etc/inputrc: you
might like to either copy them across, or try putting
$include  /etc/inputrc
into ~/.inputrc .

Mike McCarty replied:
Hmm, created ~/.inputrc

$ cat ~/.inputrc
include /etc/inputrc
set disable-completion on

Yes, I missed the "$".

Then

$ su - <myself>

to get a login shell, and indeed completion is turned off.
HOWEVER, so is "I". IOW, I can no longer type the letter "i"
in either upper or lower case. I can, however, type in a
tab. Hmm...

Weird.

If I use your .inputrc, then lower-case i stops working for me, too.

However, if I put the $ into the $include command, then the i key works
properly.

That's it. Works for me, now. However, either
	include
does something funny to the leading "i" somehow
or means something to bash in some way I don't understand,

or

bash has some kind of defect.

I'm not familiar enough with bash to say which.

But you might, instead, like this ~/.inputrc :
$include /etc/inputrc
"\C-i": self-insert

That will unbind completion from the tab key, but leave it working if
you pressing escape twice (which also works on some variants of ksh when
tab doesn't work).

Another good idea.
