Version: (using KDE 4.0.3) Installed from: Fedora RPMs Compiler: gcc (GCC) 4.3.0 20080428 (Red Hat 4.3.0-8) OS: Linux I think that is quite clear, anyway to reproduce it, open a konsole, type two words separated by a space and then press ctrl+left arrow: it has the same effect to press only the left arrow. I suppose (and in previous versions was it) to have the cursor in the space between the two words.
I cannot reproduce here. Do other Ctrl+[Key] combinations work as expected? Do you have any shortcuts bound to Ctrl+[Arrow]?
I don't think to have other shorcuts bound to Crtl+[Arrow], I tried with focus on Desktop and I don't have any effect, I have other combinations with Ctrl+[Key] and they work fine, on konsole too. For example I can open a new tab with Crtl+Shift+N or move a tab with Crtl+Shift+[Arrow].
> For example I can open a new tab with Crtl+Shift+N or move a tab with Crtl+Shift+[Arrow]. Those are Konsole shortcuts which are handled differently to Ctrl+[Arrow] which is sent directly to the shell. The shell program (presumably 'bash') is responsible for moving the cursor around in response. Does Ctrl+A or Ctrl+E work for example? (should move to the start and end of lines respectively).
Ops, sorry, I didn't know that. Anyhow Ctrl+E or A or R or O or L work fine! And yes, it's bash.
Using revision 806921 CTRL+[left|right] move the cursor to the start or the end of the word to me. It is ok.
I'm using bash 3.2.
Do you experience the same behavior in other terminals? (xterm, gnome-terminal etc.?)
i imagine this is a bug in your bash or readline configuration rather than konsole itself in your session with bash, hit CTRL+V and then type the key shortcut (like CTRL+left arrow) take that resulting string (^[[1;5D on my system) and make sure your inputrc has a line for it (usually /etc/inputrc or ~/.inputrc)
Appears not to be Konsole issue.
