Can't type characters in git bash

Question

I just rebooted and re-installed git version 1.8.3.msysgit.0 and rebooted again on my Windows 7 pro 64bit.
And I can't type the letters i or r in the git bash. I can type I and R( capitalized )

I tried changing the font size, edit mode and dir but it keeps happening. I tried using alt codes too, but those don't seem to work in this bash screen.

I'm flabbergasted, What can I do to resolve this ?

Answer 1

Frequently there are key mappings defined in ~/.inputrc that can redefine the shell's interpretation of the keys.
