When you press a non-text key or key-sequence, your terminal translates that into some particular sequence of characters. For example, if I open a new gnome-terminal, run "cat" and press keys, I can see that left-arrow sends "^[[D", while ctrl+left-arrow sends "^[[1;5D". I believe the ability to send modifiers (ctrl, alt, shift) with arrow-keys is a feature added by xterm and copied by other terminal-emulators, it's not part of the original VT100/VT220 feature-set. Which is to say, if you run "cat" in a terminal and pressing ctrl+left-arrow results in "^[[D" on your screen, then you're out of luck. In particular, the Linux console is a very limited and not-particularly-xterm-compatible terminal, and it doesn't surprise me that it doesn't support ctrl+arrow keys. I recommend rebinding the switch/resize commands to something more compatible. I went for the traditional HJKL myself, but maybe you'd prefer WASD or IJKL or something. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Rapidly troubleshoot problems before they affect your business.
