I recently tried to disable case sensitivity in the Ubuntu terminal, and ran a few commands to do so. After I got it working properly, it somehow messed with my ability to type, or even copy, a lowercase s into terminal.

I have tried changing the inputrc file, but it tells me I do not have permission to do so, and I can't type or copy in 'sudo' into terminal, as it only becomes 'udo'.

How can I regain the ability to type s into my terminal? I'm fine with resetting all keybindings and whatnot, I just don't know how to at this point.

Don't know how relevant it is, but the last 3 lines of my inputrc file now looks like this:

$endif
set completion-ignore-case on
set completion-ignore-case on

The commands I ran before the issue occurred were the following (as I had no clue what I was doing):

if [ ! -a ~/.inputrc ]; then echo 'source /etc/inputrc' > ~/.inputrc; fi 
echo set completion-ignore-case on | sudo tee -a /etc/inputrc sudo 
echo 'set completion-ignore-case On' >> /etc/inputrc 
echo "bind 'et completion-ignore-cae on'" >> ~/.bahrc

alt-ctrl-F1 should give you the opportunity to login in a non-X terminal. You should be able to correct things there.
