Using which shell and which terminal? – grawity Sep 22 '11 at 12:04
@grawity,I'm connecting to linux from windows by ssh. – xpbug Sep 22 '11 at 12:21
That doesn't answer my question at all. Which shell (bash, sh, zsh, csh, ...) and which terminal (PuTTY, Mintty, Xterm, Konsole, Cygwin SSH, SecureCRT, ...)? – grawity Sep 22 '11 at 12:24
@grawity, I'm using xshell, bash. – xpbug Sep 22 '11 at 12:35

It's simple - Xshell does not send anything when you press Ctrl+arrows. And you can't configure it to send proper escape sequences, either.

It may be possible to configure Ctrl-Left and Ctrl-Right via "Keyboard Shortcuts" to send some very unlikely to type sequence, but it will cause much headache in the future.

The only proper solution is to choose a different client, such as PuTTY or SecureCRT.

So it has nothing to do with the keyboard? – xpbug Sep 22 '11 at 14:18
