The desired effect for the Enter key would be to normal enter function

I don't think the content of $INPUTRC is relevant when talking about
Enter and Tab having no effect "on the first try".

And I don't have any setting that would have the "do nothing on the
first enter; wait for the second enter" effect.

I guess you mean: "wait for the second *tab*" etc.


SO, my question to Ronald is:  Have you read anything in this thread,
or just posted to it a lot?  It's obviously NOT a zsh problem if it
doesn't happen in Windows RXVT but does happen in X11 RXVT.  Fine,
they COULD have different zsh binaries sourcing different environment
files, but it's far more likely that Cygwin/X is misbehaving than that
Thorsten somehow managed to find a zsh binary that sometimes eats the
enter key.  If you can't take the time to read a thread, you really
oughtn't post to it.

Again, read better, or at least research.  Thorsten IS one of the
Cygwin people who hangs around the zsh mailing lists.

The only thing worse than no answer to a question is a wrong answer
that keeps being repeated.  Do Thorsten a favor and stop talking.
