<para>The <filename>/etc/inputrc</filename> file deals with mapping
the keyboard for specific situations. This file is the start-up file
used by <application>Readline</application>, the input-related
library used by <application>Bash</application> and most other
shells.</para>
<para>The <filename>inputrc</filename> file handles keyboard mapping for
specific situations. This file is the startup file used by Readline &mdash; the
input-related library &mdash; used by Bash and most other shells.</para>
<para>For more information, see the <command>bash</command> info page, section
<emphasis>Readline Init File</emphasis>. The
<filename class="libraryfile">readline</filename> info page is
also a good source of information.</para>
<para>Most people do not need user-specific keyboard mappings so the command
below creates a global <filename>/etc/inputrc</filename> used by everyone who
logs in. If you later decide you need to override the defaults on a per-user
basis, you can create a <filename>.inputrc</filename> file in the user's home
directory with the modified mappings.</para>
<para>Global values are set in <filename>/etc/inputrc</filename>.
Personal user values are set in <filename>~/.inputrc</filename>. The
<filename>~/.inputrc</filename> file will override the global settings
file. A later page sets up Bash to use
<filename>/etc/inputrc</filename> if there is no
<filename>.inputrc</filename> for a user when
<filename>/etc/profile</filename> is read (usually at login). To make
the system use both, or to negate global keyboard handling, it is a
good idea to place a default <filename>.inputrc</filename> into the
<filename class="directory">/etc/skel</filename> directory for use
with new users.</para>
<para>For more information on how to edit the inputrc file, see <command>info
bash</command> under the <emphasis>Readline Init File</emphasis> section.
<command>info readline</command> is also a good source of information.</para>
<para>Below is a base <filename>/etc/inputrc</filename>, along with
comments to explain what the various options do. Note that comments
cannot be on the same line as commands.</para>
<para>To create the <filename>.inputrc</filename> in <filename
class="directory">/etc/skel</filename> using the command below, change
the command's output to <filename
class="directory">/etc/skel/.inputrc</filename> and be sure to
check/set permissions afterward. Copy that file to
<filename>/etc/inputrc</filename> and the home directory of any user
already existing on the system, including <emphasis>root</emphasis>,
that needs a private version of the file. Be certain to use the
<parameter>-p</parameter> parameter of <command>cp</command> to
maintain permissions and be sure to change owner and group
appropriately.</para>
<para>Below is a generic global <filename>inputrc</filename> along with comments
to explain what the various options do. Note that comments cannot be on the same
line as commands. Create the file using the following command:</para>
<screen><userinput>cat &gt; /etc/inputrc &lt;&lt; "EOF"
<literal># Begin /etc/inputrc
# Modified by Chris Lynn &lt;roryo@roryo.dynup.net&gt;
# Make sure we don't output everything on the 1 line
# Allow the command prompt to wrap to the next line
set horizontal-scroll-mode Off
# Enable 8bit input
