"some of the common keys" is vague here.  I'm assuming you probably mean
the emacs bindings like ^A, ^K, etc?

Using these packages:

Installed:                                Available:
bash-4.4.12-r1                          =3D 4.4.12-r1
readline-7.0.003-r0                     =3D 7.0.003-r0

I don't need an /etc/inputrc to use ^A, ^K, etc in bash.  (I use zsh in
vim mode typically, so I wouldn't typically notice.)  It looks like
maybe this also handles ^=E2=86=90 ^=E2=86=92 for word skipping, which do=
es *not* work
here in this bash.

Since this is a readline file, it should probably be provided by
readline; I'm not sure why Gentoo puts it in sys-apps/baselayout.
Debian has it in readline-common (as /usr/share/readline/inputrc).
Fedora has it in setup[noarch] ("A set of configuration and setup
files"); presumably, this is because they customise it beyond the
readline library's shipped example file, and because readline is a part
of their @system repo.


So, tl;dr: +1 on shipping an /etc/inputrc in readline package.


Best,
