Adds extra functionality to the bash terminal

# this makes the "delete" key work rather than 
# just entering a ~
"e[3~": delete-char
 
# these allow you to use ctrl+left/right arrow keys
# to jump the cursor over words
"e[5C": forward-word
"e[5D": backward-word
 
# these allow you to start typing a command and 
# use the up/down arrow to auto complete from 
# commands in your history
"e[B": history-search-forward
"e[A": history-search-backward
 
# this lets you hit tab to auto-complete a file or 
# directory name ignoring case
set completion-ignore-case On
 
# I'm not sure what keys these are!

"e[4~": end-of-line
