Hello Carsten.

What a great call!
Exactly the same line was not commented out in my /etc/inputrc.

Somehow the line got edited because it's commented out in the original
which was block pasted from my older Kubuntu install.

I fixed the line but typing a 'T' is still not working
How do I activate the updated inputrc?
