Hi, Chet
  Thanks for your reply.
  Here is my .inputrc file:
=======================================================
#"\e[3~": delete-char
# this is actually equivalent to "\C-?": delete-char

# VT
"\e[1~": beginning-of-line
"\e[4~": end-of-line

# kvt
"\e[H":beginning-of-line
"\e[F":end-of-line

# rxvt and konsole (i.e. the KDE-app...)
"\e[7~":beginning-of-line
"\e[8~":end-of-line

set meta-flag on
set convert-meta off
set output-meta on
# ignore case while completing
set completion-ignore-case on

# shut off the bell
set bell-style none

set editing-mode vi

set visible-stats on

set keymap vi-insert
"\C-A" : beginning-of-line
"\C-B" : backward-char
"\C-E" : end-of-line
"\C-F" : forward-char
=======================================================

After adding the keybindings, I open a new terminal(gnome Terminal 2.10.0),
input some text and press Ctrl+B, it does not work.

Am I doing something wrong?
