Ctrl-left arrow & ctrl-right arrow not assigned in bash

In most other other distros I worked with, the CTRL-Left arrow and CTRL-right arrow will move one word to the left (or right) in a shell or a term (ex. gnome-terminal) but doesn't do anything under Arch. How/where can I assign these key combinations under Arch? TIA

Ok I finally figured it out. To say that it was a learning experience would be an understatement.
I added the following 4 lines in /etc/inputrc
"\e[1;5C": forward-word
"\e\e[C": forward-word
"\e[1;5D": backward-word
"\e\e[D": backward-word
I discovered that these new entries do not apply to a standard console (getty?) and only works within an ssh session or inside a term of some sort (i.e. gnome-terminal). Hopefully this will be useful to someone else.

  • Home and End Key(Right and Left Arrows) Not Working!!!

    I have a Macbook... And all of a sudden the Home(Left Arrow) and the End(Right Arrow) keys have stopped working. I have no clue why this happened?? Can somebody PLZ help me out????

    I have a Macbook Pro and since upgrading to 10.6.4 none of my arrow keys work. Neither do the +&= or ?&/ keys. All other keys are OK. The only way around this is to use 'keyboard viewer' which is inconvenient to say the least. I assume this must be a software related issue.

  • Ctrl+Right Click not working

    Hi all,
    I am using EP version 6.4 and ESS/MSS 100 SP 22. Backend system is ECC 5.0 and SAP-HR/EA-HR SP75.
    I am unable to do end user personalization in the portal iviews. Ctrl+Right Click is not working. Any idea whether this works on this version or not?
    Thanks

    Webdynpro Personalization is a feature available from EP 7.0.
    I don't think it will work in EP 6.0 versions.
    Thanks,

  • Command-Left/Right Arrow not working

    Very strange behavior I'm seeing today.
    My left/right arrow keys work. Even Option-Left/Right works correctly.
    But, Command-Left-Right do not work. No movement at all.
    Curiously, Shift-Command-Left/Right work fine.
    I've not changed any keyboard shortcuts recently. I've checked the keyboard shortcuts that are currently defined. Nothing that would indicate a problem, but clearly there is.

    Just found a solution that worked for me here. Basically, it seems to be a bug with the Dock. If you type "killall Dock" (the command is case-sensitive) into the command line in Terminal, it restarts the Dock. After that the arrows seem to work normally again.

  • Change Ctrl-right arrow to start of next word

    How do I unmap behavior of Ctrl-Right Arrow from end of next word to start of next word? I am using FM 11 on a Windows platform.

    Actually, I think it's done by modifying cmds.cfg or wincmds.cfg. I've been mucking around with these files with no success.

  • Move to previous or next magnified photo     Press Left Arrow and Right Arrow keys does not work

    Move to previous or next magnified photo
    Press Left Arrow and Right Arrow keys
    This command no longer works in iPhoto. The photo just bounces for a moment, then all the photos begin scrolling. I used to be able to just hit the key to scroll one at a time.

    What version of iPhoto and system are you running?  What mode are you in, edit, full view, full screen, ???

  • Crtl-Right/Left arrow shortcut in dynamic link

    I'm trying to use the Ctrl-Right arrow short cut to jump to the start of the next clip while grading in SG directly opening a .prproj sequence.  The shortcut works as expected until I add an extra playhead, and then the shortcuts are broken until I close and reopen the project.  Is this a bug, or am I missing something.  Thanks for your help!

    Hi,
    When a second playhead is added through 2UP button, the selection in the timeline goes up to the top video track. If you have an Adjustment Layer on top, covering the full timeline, that is the why the Crt+Right Arrow is not working anymore.
    Try to add a second playhead, and then reselect manually the clip to be edited. Or you could try the shortcut: 'Shift + Crt + DownArrow', this is for moving through your video tracks.

  • Left arrow key does not go back one character at a time

    on my key pad, I cannot backup "over" characters one space at a time  I am not looking to DELETE, merly to backup one character at a time.  I know I can use the function key along with the arrow key for word at a time jump.  I can jump one character to the right by pushing that key but I cannot do that with my left arrow key.  slight annoyance, but I swear it worked before. . .

    The arrow to open the tab history of the Back and Forward buttons has been removed in Firefox 4 and later.
    Use one of these methods to open the tab history list:
    * Right click on the Back or Forward button
    * Hold down the left mouse button on the enabled Back or Forward button until the list opens
    You can look at this extension:
    * Backward Forward History Dropdown: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/backforedrop/

  • Double click on the left arrow on the tab bar creates a New Tab at the right hand end.

    With Firefox 29.0.1 double clicking on either the left or right hand arrows in the tab bar creates a new tab at the right hand end of the tab bar. This is annoying behaviour that violates standards around UI design single click and double click. A double click should extend the behaviour of the single click rather than doing something completely different (opening a new tab). An example would be , in Word a single click selects a word, a double click selects the sentence and a triple click selects the paragraph. Note that this is a separate issue from double clicking on the tab bar itself to create a new tab.
    When there are more tabs on the tab bar than will fit in the viewport the tabs scroll sideways so show the tab in use. I can click the left and right arrows at the ends of the tab bar to scroll the bar in that direction to bring a tab that I want to select into view. I believe that double clicking the left arrow would scroll the bar fully right, exposing the left-most tab. Double clicking the right arrow would scroll the bar fully left exposing the right-most tab.
    This is a logical and expected extension of the behaviour of the single click. Single click - scroll once (seems to be about three tab's worth), double click - scroll all the way.
    At the moment, if I want to scroll to the left-most tab I have to click the arrow slowly and carefully until I reach it. I used to single click rapidly on the left arrow until the tabs stopped scrolling without having to count how many clicks. It's possible that my rapid single clicks were actually double clicks. Nevertheless, the tab bar would stop scrolling when it reached the end.
    Now the behaviour is really annoying and unexpected. A double click on the left arrow scrolls the tabs fully right and then fully left and creates a New Tab at the right hand end. Ditto the right hand arrow in the opposite direction.
    While I can (maybe) see that value of a double click on the tab bar itself creating a new tab, double clicking one of the scroll arrows should not produce a new tab.
    Double clicks on the tab arrows should scroll the tab bar fully to that end. If the tab bar is already fully scrolled to that end then additional clicks (single, double and triple...) should be ignored.
    I like the idea of opening a new tab to the right of the one that currently has focus. This should be a right click context menu option.

    That shouldn't happen if you click the scroll buttons on the tab bar.
    A double-click should act as page up/down and move a full screen and a triple-click should move to the far left (first tab) or the far right (last) tab.

  • TS1381 My left arrow does not work on my macbook pro(model A1226).  I have reset nvram, performed a safe boot, pulled the cache to desktop, replaced .globalpreference.plist, test all other keys with keyboard view (all others work)  - HELP!!

    My left arrow does not work on my macbook pro(model A1226).
    I have reset nvram, performed a safe boot, pulled the cache to desktop, replaced .globalpreference.plist, & tested all other keys with "keyboard viewer" (all other keys work except for the arrow). 
    In addition, I have gone thru all the recommended checks with universal access and have booted from snow leopard dvd and the left arrow still does not work. 
    I have tried using the left arrow key in all of applications I use such as: excel, ms word, address book, calendar, iphoto, terminal, & highlighting an icon and using the arrows to move to another selected icon.
    Here is the kicker!  In addition, I purchased a logitech solar bluetooth keyboard and the arrows work fine with my ipad but do not work when paired with the macbook pro. All other keys work fine on the macbook pro using the bluetooth keyboard.
    I believe this says that the problem is not in my macbook pro keyboard. So where can it be?
    Can anyone think of any other rabbit holes I can search?
    thanks and regards

    I would also like to add that I've reverted the two cd drive and hard drive mods I did and the laptop is back to factory hardware and there is 0 corrosion or mold visible.

  • When using option right/left arrow in clip trimmer end point handle won't stick

    From the help menu:
    In the Clip Trimmer, do either of the following:
    Drag the handles at either end of the yellow clip selection to set a new startpoint and endpoint.
    Move the handles one frame at a time by placing the pointer near the handle that you want to adjust, and then holding down the Option key as you press the Left Arrow or Right Arrow key.
    Move the entire yellow selection box to the left or right by pressing the Left Arrow or Right Arrow key, or by clicking within the box and dragging. Using this technique, you can change which video frames are selected without changing the duration of the selection
    End of help menu clip
    The bug I've found is that when I place the pointer near the end handle I can hit option arrow and trim the end one frame forward or backwards but when I then hit option arrow a second time the start handle is trimmed.  Thus it is hard to quickly option arrow the end handle trim multiple frames without having to move the pointer each time before hitting option arrow.  Trimming the start point handle works like I would like as I can just keep hitting option arrow and the start point handle will trim a frame each time.  The end point handle should work the same way but it doesn't.  I'm on the latest ver 9.02

    Tea,
    One thing you can do to help yourself out is to create bookmarks to give you a visual reference for the beats in the music.
    You create a bookmark by choosing Bookmarks>Add Bookmarks or by typing command-b.
    So you can place your song in the timeline and then play it while tapping out command-b's to the beat of the music. You'll then have little green diamonds in the timeline to use as reference points.
    Similarly, you can choose View>Show Audio Waveforms to identify the beats in the music by seeing the peaks in the waveforms.
    These techniques should make it a bit easier to make your edits in time with your music.
    Keep in mind though, that your movie is built from left to right in the time line. When you edit a clip your clips will always slide in to take up any space to the left of the clip.
    When they do that, you can slide them apart again. Doing so will create a clip of black between them that can later be replaced.
    One last thing to mention. If you select your music track and then choose Advanced>Lock Audio Clip at Playhead you can then slide a clip around and the locked audio will move with it.
    It's a bit quirky I've found, but may also be useful.

  • Left Arrow "Goto Previous Frame" Not Working in Projects

    When trying to navigate around the timeline in a project, I can press the "Right Arrow" key on the keyboard to navigate to the next frame in the timeline from the playhead.  When I try and press the "Left Arrow" key to navigate to the previous frame, the project is de-selected and the selection jumps up to Macintosh HD above the project (or if editing a project on another drive, it jumps up and selects that Drive).  Pressing the left arrow key again collapses that Drive and all the projects on it are hidden.
    I can skip 10 frames in either direction just fine by pressing Shift-Left or Shift-Right, but for some reason cannot skip backward frame by frame without the project being de-selected.
    If I choose a clip in the Event Library, I am able to navigate frame by frame either direction just fine with the Arrow keys - it only seems to be a problem in an actual project.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks!

    When trying to navigate around the timeline in a project,
    Is this really in the timeline, or in the Project Library? It sounds like you're in the Project Library. In there, yes that's the way the arrow keys work. They're used to navigate through projects and folders. Event Library works the same way.
    After the drive collapses with the left arrow, you can use the right arrow to open it. If you want to slow play through the project hold K and L. If you want frame by frame inspection, hold the K key and tap the L key. Or open the project into the timeline panel.
