That is an issue with your terminal emulator. I have faced that too but haven't had time to look into it in detail. I also use windmove but with the meta (M, Alt on linux) key. This however has the disadvantage of conflicting even more with org. So I use the shift key with org. So in the end windmove works in all modes (except org) for all sessions (X and terminal), it works with hiccups with org only in an X session. These are my relevant settings: ;; navigate thru windows using M-<arrow> (windmove-default-keybindings 'meta) ;; Make windmove work in org-mode with 'shift as modifier: (add-hook 'org-shiftup-final-hook 'windmove-up) (add-hook 'org-shiftleft-final-hook 'windmove-left) (add-hook 'org-shiftdown-final-hook 'windmove-down) (add-hook 'org-shiftright-final-hook 'windmove-right) Hope this will help. -- Suvayu Open source is the future.
