Me neither offhand; see readline(3) for details. Local settings take
precedence over global ones, so try making an empty ~/.inputrc file to see
if the symptoms go away.
FWIW I have these settings in my ~/.inputrc file:
set convert-meta on
M-C-i: dynamic-complete-history
Meta-s: forward-search-history
and I have never really bothered to examine the global settings forced
upon me by the distribution. I found them disturbing in surprising ways,
breaking my habits developed with `readline' over more than 20 years.
