I have placed these codes in /etc/inputrc which is where I really want
them so that they are universal. That didn't work, so tried putting
them in ~/.inputrc. That didn't work either.
$if mode=emacs
"\M-\C-b": backward-word
"\M-\C-f": forward-word
"\M-\C-<": previous-history
"\M-\C->": next-history
"\C-x\C-r": re-read-init-file
Meta-Rubout: backward-kill-word
$endif
I have tried all versions of 'Meta-Control-' to no avail. What could be
wrong? Am I doing something stupid? Is there something I have to turn
on?
The GNU manual doesn't say. In fact, the latest version of the manual
seems pretty clear. Yet the 're-read-init-file' and/or re-booting
changes nothing.
