    5 <para>There are a number of configuration files that are common to all
    6 Linux systems.  Inputrc deals with the mapping of the keybord in ceratin
    7 situations.  This file is the start-up file used by readline - the input
    8 related library used by bash and most other shells.  By changing this file
    9 you can change how certain keys act in different situations.  The following
    10 is a simple inputrc along with comments to explain what the various
    11 options do.</para>

    13 <para>The following file can be used as

    15 appropriate.  See below for more details on which to use.</para>

     10Readline Init file as well as <filename>info readline</filename>. There

    55 <para>Please see the manual pages for more information.  For more
    56 information, look at bash(1) and search for readline, or if you have
    57 the readline package installed, look at readline(3).  There is a lot that
    58 can be done with this single rc file.</para>
     56# End /etc/inputrc</screen></para>

    60 <para>Note that the readline library checks ~/.inputrc, by default.  If
    61 you want to use <filename>/etc/inputrc</filename> as your global
    62 inputrc (i.e. for all users), you will need to add the line
    63 <screen><userinput>export INPUTRC=/etc/inputrc</userinput></screen>
    64 to your .bash_profile, .bashrc or .profile file as appropriate.  To make
    65 the file truly global, you may wish to add it to your
    66 <filename>/etc/profile</filename> file.</para>
    67 
    68 <para>If you want to use per-user <userinput>.inputrc</userinput> files,
    69 you can create one and drop it into <filename>/etc/skel</filename> for use
    70 when creating new users.</para>
     58<para>Global values are set in <filename>/etc/inputrc</filename>.
     59Personal user values as are set in <filename>~/.inputrc</filename>. The
     60<filename>~/.inputrc</filename> file will override the global settings
     61file.  The previous page sets up Bash to use
     62<filename>/etc/inputrc</filename> by default.  If you want your system
     63to use both, it might be a good idea to place a default
     64<filename>.inputrc</filename> into the <filename>/etc/skel</filename>
     65directory for use with new users.</para>
