All lines except the last enable nice readline & bash cursor movement (control + arrow keys and what not) while the last line turns on case insensitivity for tab-completion, enabling you to have folders and files of mixed case characters while not having to type the capital letters. (For instance: You can have a directory called “Documents” and tab-complete by tying “doc”.)
You either want to place the above in ~/.inputrc or /etc/inputrc.

(Note: Due to a bug, wordpress won't let me update the article. This one is more up-to-date, and support Linux of various versions (due to the multiple forward-word/backward-words, including the last of each for modern Linux distros).)
