Did it. Got it. The '"\e\C-b"':backward-word binding works. Now the question is, how do I set it up in my .inputrc? Just try "\e \C-b": backward-word ? Or \e^B ? How can I test that readline is even reading my .inputrc? -- Regards Bill Fedora 12, Gnome 2.28 Evo.2.28, Emacs 23.1.1 -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
