You can also change your tab behavior by entering in the same file:

tab: menu-complete

Then you can cycle through possible matches by pressing tab.

Or 'man bash' and look for the READLINE chapter. There's a list of all
possibilities. Bash is like science fiction. ;-)

BTW: Does anybody have a clou how to define a sequence of commands
(macro) in inputrc and call it on pressing a certain key? I mean I know
how to call single commands on keypress, but I can't figure out the
syntax for macro definition.

Was always wondering about that...can it do "process matching" for the
kill command? Or maybe a mixture of possible-completions and
menu-complete?
