OSX .inputrc to make terminal way better. and by better i mean i'm naked

.inputrc

"\e[1~": beginning-of-line
"\e[4~": end-of-line
"\e[5~": history-search-backward
"\e[6~": history-search-forward
"\e[3~": delete-char
"\e[2~": quoted-insert
"\e[5C": forward-word
"\e[5D": backward-word
"\e\e[C": forward-word
"\e\e[D": backward-word

set completion-ignore-case On
set expand-tilde on
set convert-meta off
set input-meta on
set output-meta on
set show-all-if-ambiguous on
set visible-stats on
set -o vi

Backward word delete didn't work for me until I checked this setting:

Terminal | Preferences | Settings | Keyboard | Use option as meta key

And forward word delete only works once I add a key mapping in the same Keyboard panel with the following settings

• Key: Forward Delete
• Modifier: Option
• Send text: /033d Hit esc, d to insert this

Now all is right in the universe.

@gregorynicholas, this didn't seem to matter but 4 of the double quotes in your example are not actually " characters.

@rampion it's escape-home

If "\e[1~" is escape home, what are the others?

Lines 3 and 4 have smart quotes.

@colemickens thnx

Most important lines in my .inputrc:

# From http://www.ukuug.org/events/linux2003/papers/bash_tips/
# Incremental searching with Up and Down. Type 'ssh <up>' to get the last 'ssh' command you used
"\e[A": history-search-backward
"\e[B": history-search-forward

Reloading these combinations with source ~/.inputrc didn't work for me and this worked: bind -f ~/.inputrc

Thank you @shoshial: that solved my problems.
