Title:
can no longer jump words with CTRL-arrow in gnome-terminal
Status in “readline6” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Binary package hint: gnome-terminal
In edgy, one can navigate the command line with control-arrow
(left/right) to jump over words. This is not possible in feisty's
gnome-terminal. Instead it prints a control character as in the
following example:
jos at duet-feisty ~ $ foo;5C;5D;5C;5D
As you can see, it prints a ;5C for ctrl-right and ;5D for ctrl-left.
This makes navigating a long command line cumbersome.
===WORKAROUND===
I had to create the following ~/.inputrc file to get them to work in
Bash:
$include /etc/inputrc
# ZYV
#
# PageUp and PageDown don't work in Ubuntu anymore by default :-(
#
"\e[6~": end-of-history
"\e[5~": beginning-of-history
