Re: bash ignoring .inputrc (or am I dumb)

[William Yardley]

Arrgh... Ok, so the good news is that I checked the archives; the bad
news is that I checked them after reading:

 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-bash/2005-08/msg00003.html

trying ^x ^r does indeed make it work for that line.

jazz:$ stty -a
speed 38400 baud; rows 38; columns 80; line = 140;
intr = ^C; quit = ^\; erase = ^?; kill = ^U; eof = ^D; eol = <undef>;
eol2 = <undef>; swtch = <undef>; start = ^Q; stop = ^S; susp = ^Z; rprnt = ^R;
werase = ^W; lnext = ^V; flush = ^O; min = 1; time = 0;

I would still like to know if there's a way to bind ^W to
backward-kill-word within bash, so if anyone has suggestions, I'd
appreciate them.
