I agree, although otoh, the inputrc change is not specific to bash. It is useful for any cli that uses readline (mysql, python prompt, pgcli,...). Other useful inputrc settings I have in mine : # - when performing completion in the middle of a word, do not insert characters # from the completion that match characters after point in the word being # completed set skip-completed-text on # - displays possible completions using different colors according to file type. set colored-stats on # - show completed prefix in a different color set colored-completion-prefix on # - jump temporarily to matching open parenthesis set blink-matching-paren on set expand-tilde on set history-size -1 set history-preserve-point on
