Hi,

Just joining the game as of yesterday, I found that certain keys won't
work on the bash command line. It's the ones that usually get entered
using dead key combinations. Accented characters, but on a Danish
keyboard also ^ ~ ` I'm sure you can imagine that this sort of gets in
the way when using the command line... 

If I type input to a program, e.g. cat, the problem disappears, so I
suspect that the readline library is the culprit?
