unbind default key from inputrc What I want to do is made C-h not send backwards-delete-char there is nothing about it in my inputrc files but is shows up in bind -p

`C-h` is bound to `backward-delete-char` by default. If you don't like that, bind it to a different command in your `.inputrc`, e.g.


"\C-h": nop


to make it do nothing.

Note that if your terminal sends C-h for the `BackSpace` key¹, and `C-h` is not explicitly bound to an existing command (so not `nop`), then `C-h` will execute `backward-delete-char`.

¹ More precisely, if your terminal's configuration tell applications that this is so. This is the `erase` character in the stty settings. You can display stty settings by running `stty -a`.
