  • # By default up/down are bound to previous-history  
    # and next-history respectively. The following does the  
    # same but gives the extra functionality where if you  
    # type any text (or more accurately, if there is any text  
    # between the start of the line and the cursor),  
    # the subset of the history starting with that text  
    # is searched (like 4dos for e.g.).  
    # Note to get rid of a line just Ctrl-C  
    "\e[B": history-search-forward  
    "\e[A": history-search-backward  
      
    $if Bash  
      # F10 toggles mc on and off  
      # Note Ctrl-o toggles panes on and off in mc  
      "\e[21~": "mc\C-M"  
      
      #do history expansion when space entered  
      Space: magic-space  
    $endif  
      
    # Include system wide settings which are ignored  
    # by default if one has their own .inputrc  
    $include /etc/inputrc
