  Why did my “d” break when I screwed up a bind?
  
  1 answer
  
  

My bash does not know the letter p. zsh does though.

When I type a p in bash, it simply ignores it, and even pasting in text that contains a p will result in no p in the pasted text.
This behavior is the same across terminals (I tried, urxvt, st and tty)

I tried commenting out everything in my ~/.profile, ~/.bash_profile and ~/.bashrc, the problem still persists. Using root though, everything is fine. My /root/.profile, /root/.bash_profile and /root/.bashrc are symlinked to the files in my home directory. So the problem can't originate there, but it's got to be something that is different for root and my user.

I use a custom keyboard layout, but when I switch to standard US keyboard layout, the problem still persists as well.

Just to rule this out as well: I do not use gnome.

Where else can I look?

Besides the files you mentioned, there could be .inputrc in effect that changes the interpretation of the p key.

Edit: maddingl (the OP) confirms:

That's it. I had left the following in there:

# fix not working delete-key in st, see https://git.suckless.org/st/file/FAQ.html
# line 51
printf '33[?1h33=' >/dev/tty

That line does fix the delete-key in st, but it also causes the described problem. I went back to urxvt anyways, so for me it does not matter. If the reader is using st and wants both working p and delete, see the above mentioned link for more info.

  @maddingl I don't think your edit was warrented. First of all: don't write edits using first-person. Edits should fix errors or add small amounts of information. IMHO instead of editing this answer you could have added your own answer instead.

  @Barmar Yes, that's what I meant. If a user edits someone else's answer/question they should do so in an "integrated manner", not like "Hey, different user here. This is what I did ...". At that point they should simply write their own answer and add a reference to the other answer.
