Seems I never set my HOME environment variable (sigh), so it all ended up in my Windows home directory. Asserting ~/.inputrc did not have DOS line endings didn't have any effect, but removing the file allowed me to type all chars again (that's a relief). The only thing I had in that custom ~/.inputrc were system beep suppression directives, namely: set bell-style no setterm -blength 0 After setting the HOME variable in my .bat file, I recreated .inputrc in vim and everything is fine again. I suspect permissions in the Windows user directory conflicted with Cygwin's installation.
