Kevin,

According to the tmux man page, TERM must be set to screen.

I have overridden this value to screen-256color so as to get 256 colours.

None the less, I have tried reverting to standard 'screen' to the same
effect (less the 256 colour support).

Also just to clarify, the Ctrl-Arrow and Shift-Arrow keys work correctly
when the TERM=xterm* but not when set to TERM=screen*

This holds true for both inside and outside of tmux.

Alt-Arrow works outside of tmux when TERM=xterm, but not inside of tmux
seemingly regardless of TERM

Although Ctrl-Arrow and Shift-Arrow work correctly in tmux when
TERM=xterm*, the screen does not refresh correctly when using this
setting so cannot use this setting.

This morning I just tried working from with in xterm, and unfortunately
nothing changes, so I do not think it is down to the terminal emulator.

Everything works correctly, up until the point I start tmux

Here is a link to my tmux config: http://pastebin.com/wf4pdSeu

regards,
Paul
