Swapping Esc-f and Ctrl-f for commandline word jumping
Hello
Is there a way of swapping the keymappings of Ctrl-f with Esc-f. A common shortcut in all sorts of applications is jumping the cursor forward 1 word using Ctrl-f. However, Linux has it mapped to Esc-f. And you can't hold Esc down for multiple key presses. Any advice on making this change would be great. Thanks Mark |
actually Ctrl is a key modifier, but Esc is a key, so I do not really understand what do you want. From the other hand linux has not mapped anything. You can map keys in shells or in an editor, or?? Can you please specify where is it occured?

To be totally clear, when you use Esc-f on the command line the cursor moves 1 word forward. I would like to do the same using either Ctrl-f or Alt-f. Thanks for your reply. |

Hi
Thanks for that. I am actually using tcsh, but your reply led me to this page which not only shows the same thing for tcsh but also reminds me that what I really wanted was Ctrl-right and Ctrl-left. Thanks again for your help. This will make a lot of difference to my working environment. Mark |
