How can I make Ctrl + Right Arrow work in SecureCRT?

Question

Why doesn't Ctrl+Right Arrow work in SecureCRT? How can I make it working?

Answer 1

First put in ~/.inputrc:

"\777": backward-word
"\002": forward-word

Then click SecureCRT menu "Option/Session options", go to Terminal/Emulation/Mapped keys in the left, click "map a key..." button in the right, press "ctrl-left arrow", in "Map selected key" dialog, select "Send string" in left and input "\777" in the right "Send string" box. Do it again for "Ctrl-right arrow", except that you input "\002".

You can choose other strings to be sent than "\777" and "\002". If so, be sure to modify both in .inputrc and "send strings".

Now you can use 'ctrl-arrows' to skip words in console.

EDIT: '\001' will disable 'ctrl-A' (move to the beginning of the line).
