Problem with readline (command line editing)

[Ranjan Maitra]

At least some of these work for me (I did not try all of them). Did
you do something today to deserve this?

Btw, C-s has never worked for me. I use C-r but not actually sure
whether that (reverse search) is different from what you are doing.

Best wishes,
Ranjan
