The original issue with the CTRL-LEFT CTRL-RIGHT is not a bug. On Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS:
$ aptitude show libreadline5 Package: libreadline5 State: installed Automatically installed: yes Multi-Arch: same Version: 5.2-11 man 3 readline: "Readline is customized by putting commands in an initialization file (the inputrc file). The name of this file is taken from the value of the INPUTRC environment variable. If that variable is unset, the default is ~/.inputrc. If that file does not exist or cannot be read, the ultimate default is /etc/inputrc." Thus, *deleting* ~/.inputrc solves the initially reported problem. If one has a ~/.inputrc and wants to have system default behavior, then one also has to "$include /etc/inputrc". -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/89235 Title: can no longer jump words with CTRL-arrow in gnome-terminal To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/readline6/+bug/89235/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
