try putting the following into your ~/.inputrc file (this file is read
when bash is started)

       set meta-flag on
       set convert-meta off
       set output-meta on

moreover I find it useful to have

"\e[1~": beginning-of-line
#"\e[2~": (einfg-Taste)
"\e[3~": delete-char
"\e[4~": end-of-line
#"\e[5~": (bild-up-Taste)
#"\e[6~": (bild-down-Taste)
"\e[A": previous-history
"\e[B": next-history
"\e[D": backward-char
"\e[C": forward-char
"\"": self-insert

in the .inputrc file. Then for example You can use the "Pos1" and "Ende"
keys on a german keyboard to go to the beginning/end of the line you are
editing.

In order to make use of this in an xterm put in $(HOME)/.Xresources

   *VT100.Translations: #override <Key>BackSpace: string(0x7F)\n\
              <Key>Delete:        string(0x1b) string("[3~")\n\
              <Key>Home:          string(0x1b) string("[1~")\n\
              <Key>End:           string(0x1b) string("[4~")\n\
              Ctrl<Key>Prior:     string(0x1b) string("[40~")\n\
              Ctrl<Key>Next:      string(0x1b) string("[41~")

Look at
/usr/doc/HOWTO/Keyboard-and-Console-HOWTO.gz
and
/usr/doc/HOWTO/mini/Key-Setup.gz

In general /usr/doc/HOWTO/German-HOWTO.gz is useful for dealing with
german umlauts.
