I was trying to make TAB auto-completion case-insensitive in Bash. So I ran the shell script as instructed in this answer : https://askubuntu.com/a/87066/880212.

And now -

  • 's' - Not working
  • 'copy/paste s' - Not working
  • 'shift + s' - Working
  • 'S' - Working

[ This only happens in the Terminal ]

I have looked through the keyboard settings and 's' is not mapped to anything.

This is the Output Of "xev" when I press the "s" key:

KeyPress event, serial 37, synthetic NO, window 0x4600001,
    root 0x190, subw 0x0, time 4396015, (381,160), root:(453,287),
    state 0x10, keycode 39 (keysym 0x73, s), same_screen YES,
    XLookupString gives 1 bytes: (73) "s"
    XmbLookupString gives 1 bytes: (73) "s"
    XFilterEvent returns: False

KeyRelease event, serial 37, synthetic NO, window 0x4600001,
    root 0x190, subw 0x0, time 4396151, (381,160), root:(453,287),
    state 0x10, keycode 39 (keysym 0x73, s), same_screen YES,
    XLookupString gives 1 bytes: (73) "s"
    XFilterEvent returns: False

I am using Ubuntu 18.04 LTS

You should simply remove the set completion-ignore-case On line from the file where you added it.

According to the answer you linked, it would be either ~/.inputrc (you can delete the file if it would remain empty) or /etc/inputrc.

It's because of the source /etc/inputrc line the answer instructed you to add to ~/.inputrc. The correct line should've been $include /etc/inputrc as explained by the lowest voted answer of that question.

If you need to fix it via the terminal, you can circumvent the faulty binding of s by hitting Ctrl+v before typing s.
