The standard Bash shortcuts for moving by a word that are Alt+f and Alt+b, so "fix" is a bit strong here. But anyway, stick these two lines into ~/.inputrc, restart bash, and you should be set: "\e[1;5D": backward-word "\e[1;5C": forward-word And here's one way to put Ctrl+Up/Down to use: "\e[1;5A": history-search-backward "\e[1;5B": history-search-forward Shift combinations have a 2 instead of the 5, in case you want to map those to something.

Cygwin 6? Anyway, the above should work in this case as well, as long as you're using an xterm-compatible terminal on Ubuntu, which you are. > $ echo $TERM > xterm Andy -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
