-# /etc/inputrc: initialization file for readline
-#
-# For more information on how this file works, please see the
-# INITIALIZATION FILE section of the readline(3) man page
-#
-# Quick dirty little note:
-#  To get the key sequence for binding, you can abuse bash.
-#  While running bash, hit CTRL+V, and then type the key sequence.
-#  So, typing 'ALT + left arrow' in Konsole gets you back:
-#    ^[[1;3D
-#  The readline entry to make this skip back a word will then be:
-#    "\e[1;3D" backward-word
-#
+# /etc/inputrc - global inputrc for libreadline
+# See readline(3readline) and `info rluserman' for more information.
