Reload .inputrc at runtime

If you have been playing around with bash for some time you must have changed the file .inputrc sometime. I have changed it several times mostly for Del key and auto-completion trick. However every time I change it I have to logout of bash for it to take effect. Here are two different ways to do the same without logging out of the shell.

1. Keyboard shortcut : Ctrl+x followed by Ctrl+r
2. Script : bind -f ~/.inputrc

Here is an excerpt from my .inputrc which many others might find useful:

"\e[1~": beginning-of-line          # home
"\e[3~": delete-char                # delete
"\e[4~": end-of-line                # end
"\e[5~": history-search-backward    # page-up
"\e[6~": history-search-forward     # page-down

Hope this helped you.
