i don't know if there's a way to change the bindings, or if they're tied
to your shell bindings, but the standard emacs key bindings seem to
work.  ESC-f works for me (and ESC-l as well) for forwards word, and
ESC-b for backward-word.  

perhaps your line editor key bindings in mutt change based on your
shell?   in any event ESC-B (and control-b to go back a word, control-w
to go to the beginning of a line) should do what you want.

input field editing

2001-08-27 Thread Jeff E. Kinzli

Hi,

Perhaps it's an unwritten feature, but if not I think it would help to
have it - that is, when editing an input field (like subject, Cc:, To:,
etc.) it would be nice to be able to non-destructively jump backwards by
a word instead of one character at a time. CTRL+W will kill words
backwards, but if you want to go through a long list of Cc: addresses or
something it's painful to use the cursor positioning keys to go one
character at a time.

Is this possible and I just missed it?

Thanks,

-J
