There's no ".inputrc" nor "inputrc" on my Windows filesystem. > I believe GDB compiled by myself uses the readline that comes with GDB. The .inputrc file doesn't come with Readline, it is a user init file that you yourself can create to customize how input through readline works. I compile GDB myself as well, also with its bundled readline, I use GDB in the Windows console all the time, and I have no problems like the ones you describe. Very strange.
