I disagree because this is the behavior on all other DE's, on Windows and on Mac, and on most other applications. Only a few applications don't adhere to this, even on Wayland.
Thanks for the link, I'll post a bug there. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-terminal in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1720213 Title: Word moving with left-arrow-ctrl broken in wayland Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu: Opinion Status in gnome-terminal package in Ubuntu: Opinion Bug description: Ubuntu 17.10, Wayland session. In the terminal, the keycombination `ctrl-left-arrow` and `ctrl-right- arrow` moves the cursor one word to the left and to the right. In Xorg this works, no matter which key you press first (ctrl or arrow). In wayland, you have to press the ctrl key first, otherwise, the cursor will not move. # How to reproduce: type some words in gnome terminal press `left-arrow` key, wait for the cursor to move and, and press `ctrl`. # What happens The cursor first moves one character per "tick", and stops immediately when you press `ctrl`. # What should happen The cursor first moves one character per "tick", and starts moving one word per "tick" when you press `ctrl`.
