Beeping in bash. (Again)

Beeping in bash. (Again)

[Eric Pree]

Hi guys!  I tried running bash in rxvt like someone suggested, but it does
some funny things with Control-\, i.e., I can't stop a program that's gotten
away from me.

So, I'm back to running it in a dos box, and the beeping is back.  Any idea
how to turn it off?

Thanks

You can also use the `bind' builtin to have the change take effect immediately:

	bind 'set bell-style none'

Like Keith, I have tried that.  Still beeps.  I guess I'll just switch
shells if bash isn't going to play nice.

This has been reported many times before, e.g. 
http://sourceware.cygnus.com/ml/cygwin/1999-02/msg00909.html

The bug is present in versions up to readline-2.2.1 but it 
appears to be fixed in readline-4.0   So there is hope...

The .bashrc is read correctly with \r characters because the BASH package was
ported correctly.  The .inputrc is read by the READLINE package which BASH
depends on and hasn't been properly ported.  Anyone willing to submit changes
to the READLINE maintainer?

If that's the reason why my .inputrc never works I f... up. 

My home directory is mounted text!=binary. Both my .bashrc and .inputrc
contain \r but my .bashrc works fine ...

THIS SHOULD GO INTO THE BASH (OR CYGWIN) FAQ !!!

That doesn't work for me (using B20.1 on WinNT Ver 4.0 build 1381
Service Pack 4) either.

However, I prefer to use tcsh, so I can just "set nobeep" which works
and is much easier!

Oh, it's always an issue.  I have text mounts but my .inputrc file contains no
\r characters.  This could well indeed be the reason that it works for some and
not others.

It works well for me or I wouldn't have posted it.  Once you have the .inputrc
file in your HOME directory then you must restart bash or C-x C-r.  Do you have
a HOME environment variable?

At the risk of repeating myself:

Create or modify the ~/.inputrc file and add a line as follows
set bell-style none

The .bashrc is read correctly with \r characters because the BASH package was
ported correctly.  The .inputrc is read by the READLINE package which BASH
depends on and hasn't been properly ported.  Anyone willing to submit changes

Oh, it's always an issue.  I have text mounts but my .inputrc file contains no
