Hmmm, I just added the above two lines to ~/.inputrc rather than
/etc/inputrc and then did Ctrl-Alt-F1 to a console and logged in to try
it out. That should've read in my ~/.inputrc, right? Well typing the
first few letters of a command I know is in my history and then hitting
the up cursor key just takes me to the previous command in the history
-- i.e. it just does what it always did before. Am I missing something
here?
Best, Darren
