Thanks you all for your thoughts.
Ben is right about the "," and "." keys over key mappings, the problem
was due these keys.
Even regarding Tony thoughts about non-printables chars I'd insist on
using <C-Left> and <C-Right> to do these my desired tasks.
But as I realized they are already created inside vim for tasks I
don't even use.
So my golden question is: can I over these key mappings <C-Left> and <C-Right> ?
Because what I really want is to make something like:
imap <C-Left> <Esc>bi
imap <C-Right> <Esc>wi
imap <C-S-Left> <Esc>:call cursor(line('.'), 1)<CR>i
imap <C-S-Right> <Esc>:call cursor(line('.'), col('$'))<CR>i
So the first two lines would jump words, and the last two lines would
go to line edges.
It's possible? I'd have to overwrite the original key mapping before
anything. So....? What do you think? Doable?
And I tried with the Command key (<D-Left/Right>) here as Tony
suggested me but it seems the vim container process (terminal) hooks
up any key binding starting with the Command key, so it won't work.
