And there's your problem. That is not the proper syntax for a .inputrc
file (it is NOT for shell commands, but for readline commands, which have
an entirely different syntax). Read 'man readline'. By starting a line
with 'echo', you tried to define a macro for the key 'e', explaining why
'e' did nothing for you.
