It appears that bash cannot bind ctrl-u either by using the "bind" command, or by reading .inputrc at startup.
By default, readline binds the tty editing characters (erase, kill, literal-next, word-erase) to their readline equivalents when it's called, if they're bound to readline functions. If they're bound to macros, readline won't overwrite the bindings. It doesn't do anything with the `reprint' character (default ^R); there's never been demand for it. Use the `bind-tty-special-characters' variable to enable or disable this behavior. Chet -- ``The lyf so short, the craft so long to lerne.'' - Chaucer Live Strong. No day but today.
