• .bashrc stuff

• /etc/inputrc stuff

set show-all-if-ambiguous on

Note: if you put this in ~/.inputrc, at least with RedHat, it will ignore your stock /etc/inputrc. This has the weird side effect of (on my machine) messing up my 'END' key with putty. You can hack this back ( put "\e[4~": end-of-line in ~/.inputrc ) but it's easier to just edit /etc/inputrc

• .vimrc stuff
