Yes, I had verified this in two ways: First I have changed some of the
character
bindings in my .inputrc, and then I have typed Ctrl-X Crtl-R on the
shell prompt.
The effect was that my character binding had changed, but the completion
behaviour
was still faulty.

This doesn't display anything either. What can we conclude from this???
