Just as a point of reference: My RedHat-based MkLinux has this in
/etc/inputrc OOTB:

I guess having setup in general or the setup of bash in particular
install something like this could be usefull.

Is this really locale-specific, apart from the fact that english locales
usually don't need the 8-bit settings?  I'd think that setting the
"meta"-flags to make readline 8-bit clean by default would be
state-of-the-art.  Also, making the funktion block work like Windows
users expect it should be a reasonable default on Cygwin.


so long, benny
