bash doesn't have a "system-wide inputrc" (although you /could/ make
one that way). The only file mentioned in the man page is ~/.inputrc.
If you set the environment variable INPUTRC to /etc/inputrc,
~/.inputrc won't be parsed.
You can include any file with "$include". So if /etc/inputrc exists,
you may want to source it with...
,--- * .bashrc
| # Make *my* settings work (despite of any "export INPUTRC=" in
| # /etc/profile)
|
| unset INPUTRC
`---
,--- * ~/.inputrc
| # But only my settings where opposed to /etc/inputrc
| $include /etc/inputrc
|
| "\e[3~": delete-char
|
| # etc., etc.
`---
or...
,--- * /etc/profile
| export INPUTRC=/etc/inputrc
`---
,--- * /etc/inputrc
| "\e[3~": delete-char
|
| $include ~/.inputrc
`---
