One of the FAQs instructed me to add the command set completion-ignore-case on to the .inputrc file. Seeing a "set" command I thought this file was similar to .bashrc so I added the command echo .inputrc to the file (so I could be sure it was being read). After reading the bash manual while awake at 2 this morning I found that the Readline syntax is quite different. I think this command was being mis-parsed as a key binding. Removing the offending line fixed the problem. Thanks to all who responded with suggestions. - Ken -----Original Message----- From: Cygwin On Behalf Of Thomas Wolff Sent: Saturday, August 29, 2020 5:04 PM To: cygwin@cygwin.com Subject: Re: mintty will not accept the letter "e" Am 30.08.2020 um 00:42 schrieb Ken Reek via Cygwin: > Hi, all. > > All of the sudden, mintty won't accept a lower case "e" -- it just > dings when I try to type one.

What a strange report - there is no way mintty could be causing such an effect. Maybe you've somehow changed your keyboard mapping? What about other letters? Other applications?
