emacs key bindings - delete word forward ALT+SHIFT+D


I use key binding for emacs in my bash shell.

As we all know there is a two alt keys on either side of the space bar.

If i want to hit CTRL -A to go to the beginning of the command line i can use either the right or the left CTRL key

If i want to CTRL -d to delete one character, i can user either CTRL key on either side to delete one character

However - if i want to delete one work forward with SHIFT+ALT+D i can only use the SHIFT+ALT on the left side (the same side as the D)
If I use the SHIFT+ALT+D on the right side, i get DDD printed out on the command line - it does not delte one word forward.

Has anyone ever heard of that?
It would be better to use the ALT+SHIFT+D on the right side , instead of the left side.
Is there a way to enable the ALT+SHIFT+D on the right side of the key board for EMACS key bindings?

Hi Casper! Maybe you can remap your right CONTROL and ALT keys with xmodmap so that they behave as left keys do.
