That's why BasicLinux has a pre-configured .inputrc to
fix that problem for the CLI. However, X is a different
story. Setting the keybindings for X applications is
more complicated. BasicLinux provides a pre-configured
.Xdefaults as a partial fix, but users may have to use
a different method for some X applications.

This subject is well covered in the Config-HOWTO and in
the Keyboard-and-Console HOWTO. Slackware (any Slackware)
has all the HOWTOs in the /docs directory.
