Thanks for the response, Eric, it helped me troubleshoot the issue.

Seems I never set my HOME environment variable (sigh), so it all ended
up in my Windows home directory. Asserting ~/.inputrc did not have DOS
line endings didn't have any effect, but removing the file allowed me
to type all chars again (that's a relief).

The only thing I had in that custom ~/.inputrc were system beep
suppression directives, namely:

set bell-style no
setterm -blength 0

After setting the HOME variable in my .bat file, I recreated .inputrc
in vim and everything is fine again. I suspect permissions in the
Windows user directory conflicted with Cygwin's installation.

Cheers,
=C9ric
