Base-files: error in /etc/skel/.inputrc, plus more sample code

[Igor Pechtchanski]

John,

There is an error in /etc/skel/.inputrc: AFAIK, some readline
implementations require a space after the colon for key bindings.  So, the
last 7 lines should be
-------------------------------------
# kvt
"\e[H": beginning-of-line
"\e[F": end-of-line

# rxvt and konsole (i.e. the KDE-app...)
"\e[7~": beginning-of-line
"\e[8~": end-of-line
-------------------------------------

I'd also propose adding some example code, as below:

# Allow 8-bit input/output
#set meta-flag on
#set convert-meta off
#set input-meta on
#set output-meta on
#$if Bash
  # Don't ring bell on completion
  #set bell-style none
  # Filename completion/expansion
  #set completion-ignore-case on
  #set show-all-if-ambiguous on
  # Expand homedir name
  #set expand-tilde on
  # Append "/" to all dirnames
  #set mark-directories on
  #set mark-symlinked-directories on
  # Match all files
  #set match-hidden-files on
#$endif

as well as the VT220 key bindings:

# VT220
"\eOH": beginning-of-line
"\eOF": end-of-line

	Igor
