Alt+B, alt+F open menus in my terminal windows :-). control+B, control+F move cursor a single space in each direction. Since regular cursor movement works, this is not (very) useful. What I want is to move WORD by WORD. That is, you skip a complete word with a keypress. In a regular Linux, you do that with control+cursor. Searching online, I find escape+b, escape+f to do what I want. Nice, but verbose, too many keystrokes. I just added: """ bind '"\e[1;5D": backward-word' bind '"\e[1;5C": forward-word' """ to my .bashrc, as described in <https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/42629/bash-how-do-i-move-my-cursor-to-the-left-a-word-at-a-time#42635>, second answer. You can see what actions you have with "bind -l". You can check current binding with "bind -q action". Quite interesting stuff there. I hope this is useful to somebody else.
