- <para>The <filename>inputrc</filename> file is the configuration file for
- the Readline library, which provides editing capabilities while the user is
- entering a line from the terminal. It works by translating keyboard inputs
- into specific actions. Readline is used by Bash and most other shells as
- well as many other applications.</para>
-
- <para>Most people do not need user-specific functionality 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>For more information on how to edit the <filename>inputrc</filename>
- 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 generic global <filename>inputrc</filename> along with comments
