Why does Terminal ignore capital "B"? this happens to me from time to time: when I am using the Terminal, suddenly the terminal starting to ignore the capital 'B', regular 'b' works fine, other capital letter work fine. other applications in the system (browser, mail, etc) have not problems.

I tried to:


restart the Terminal application
switch to iTerm
switch to guest user and open Terminal there
Write a word in other window and Copy/Paste into terminal


all the above failed. next is restarting my machine.
Ok, The solution was not simple. but I found it in http://www.softpanorama.org/Scripting/Shellorama/inputrc.shtml.

When I ran bind -p i've noticed that I have a line like this per each char:

"A": self-insert


but not for "B". so I've ran:

bind -p &gt; ~/.inputrc


then I've edited the file and added the letter.

Great Success.
