Now the question is, how do I set it up in my .inputrc? Just try "\e \C-b": backward-word ? Or \e^B ?
Just put the following line in your ~/.inputrc:
"\e\C-b": backward-word
The man page says the colon *must not* have a space after the key sequence.
How can I test that readline is even reading my .inputrc?
$ bind -P | grep backward-word
You should see something like:
backward-word can be found on "\e\C-b", "\eb".
Note the addition of the new key binding to the stock binding of M-b.
