Not really sure what's up here (not tried your file) but getting readline bindings to play nicely can be tricky as there can be conflicts with existing bindings (I've found in the past I needed to disable some things to get others working etc.). I think your M-Rubout binding isn't coming from this file - it's default iirc - I see this in my C-h output: backward-kill-word can be found on "\e\C-h", "\e\C-?". This is working fine for me: $ cat ~/.inputrc $include /etc/inputrc # this shadows transpose-chars in the default emacs mode # works around the default C-s being shadowed by linux's # C-s scroll-lock behaviour set bell-style visible set editing-mode emacs set visible-stats On set show-all-if-ambiguous On C-t: forward-search-history C-f: 'realias\n' C-h: dump-functions "C-xC-r": re-read-init-file All of these seem to do what they say on the tin - I know the last one works since if I comment/uncomment the realias line and issue CxCr it toggles on/off. I prefer to use the default M-f and M-b forward/back keys (even though they are shadowed by the default gnome-terminal shortcuts - I kill those off as soon as I move into a new account).
