Re: Suggestion: Change C-x right / C-x left to C-x C-right / C-x C-left

    Maybe it's a bug in the corresponding term/*.el file.
    What does $TERM say and what does C-h l say after hitting C-left?

TERM is "linux", and C-h l shows ESC b.  Not only that,
I did (list (read-event) (read-event)) and determined
that the console actually sends ESC b.
