Problem with Shift+Left or Right arrow in Cygwin locally (Ctrl isn't noticed) and through SSH (escape code isn't interpreted correctly)


Hi,

If I'm in Bash on my Ubuntu system I can use Ctrl+Left Arrow or Right
Arrow to navigate one word at a time to the left and right. When I use
Cygwin it doesn't react to the Ctrl, responding as if I only had
pressed the Left or Right Arrow. Is there a way to fix this?

The next step is when I log in from an Ubuntu 9.10 system to Cygwin 6
using SSH. If I use Shift+Arrow Key this way there seem to be a
problem with the escape codes. Here is some hopefully relevant console
output:

kentl@THI008:~/workdir$ echo $TERM
xterm
kentl@THI008:~/workdir$ ssh 192.168.36.198

ctrl+left,right,up,down shows as (space as delimiter, ends with
apostrophe): ;5D ;5C ;5A ;5B

kentl@kentl ~
$ echo $TERM

$ uname -a
CYGWIN_NT-6.0 kentl 1.7.1(0.218/5/3) 2009-12-07 11:48 i686 Cygwin

Any help will be greatly appreciated!
